Nautical charts
Explanation:
A navigator uses various tools or nautical charts to get the graphic representation of a sea area and adjacent coastal regions. Depending on the type of chart he uses, he would get information like the depths of water and heights of land, natural features of the seabed, details of the coastline, navigational hazards, locations of natural and human-made aids to navigation, information on tides and currents, local details of the Earth's magnetic field, and human-made structures such as harbours, buildings and bridges. Such tools are essential for a navigator to have a safe journey at the sea. The six types of charts used by navigators are:
- Navigational Chart
- Ship`s boat charts
- Routing charts
- Magnetic charts
- Ocean sounding charts
- LD charts (lattice Decca)
- Astronomical charts and diagrams
