Maptech ChartKit: New York – Nantucket & Cape May, 15th Edition – PAPREGION03

The Maptech ChartKit Books have been a mainstay among boaters and mariners for many years, providing an indispensable resource for marine navigation. These chart books incorporate full-color reproductions of both U.S. government and private charts, which are meticulously bound together in a spiral format, allowing for easy flipping and reference. Despite being compact enough for convenient storage and handling, these books are sufficiently large to allow for manual plotting of routes and waypoints.

The ChartKits are tailored to cater to popular cruising regions, offering a balanced mix of wide-area coverage and detailed close-up views of harbors and important navigational approaches. Moreover, these kits have been thoughtfully designed to be compatible with gps systems, enhancing their utility for modern navigation practices.

The integration of one-minute latitude/longitude grids, makes it straightforward to determine your vessel's position, while the inclusion of named GPS waypoints at major navigation aids further bolsters their functionality.

Maptech takes pride in easing the navigation process through pre-plotted magnetic courses and nautical mile distances between key navigation points. This feature extends the utility of the ChartKits beyond digital means, accommodating traditional methods such as manual calculations and dead reckoning navigation.

In addition to practical navigation aids, the ChartKits also serve as a visual guide by providing color aerial photos of harbors and anchorages, granting boaters a richer, more informed experience as they traverse these regions.

A unique value addition to the physical ChartKit is the inclusion of a companion CD, which houses digital charts and various software tools for their use. This serves as a bridge between traditional and modern electronic navigation, ensuring that the charts' reliability and accuracy translate across different platforms.
