Maptech ChartKit books have been used by boaters for many years. They contain full-color reproductions of U.S. government and private charts, and are spiral bound for convenience. The books are a practical size – large enough for manual plotting, but small enough to be placed on a navigation station or lap.
gps Ready – These ChartKit books can be easily used with your GPS. Most charts in the books include one-minute latitude and longitude grids, making it simple to determine your vessel's position. Major navigation aids are identified with named GPS waypoints.
Small and Large Scale Charts – ChartKits include both small-scale, wide area charts and large-scale, detailed charts of harbors and approaches. The Chart Page Index, found inside the front cover, and the “Go-To” page numbers make it easy to quickly find the specific chart you need.
Pre-plotted Courses – Maptech's navigation editors add magnetic courses between major navigation aids with distances measured in nautical miles. The ChartKits are designed to assist you in making your own calculations. Each page includes a compass Rose with the annual increase in variation and complete scale information.
Aerial Photos – Color aerial photos of harbors and anchorages are included in the ChartKits. These photos help boaters have a better understanding of what to expect before arriving at a location.
Companion CD – The ChartKits also include a companion CD. This CD contains digital charts and the software tools needed to use them. The digital charts are identical to the charts found in the Chartbooks, complete with GPS waypoints and course lines.
