Maps & Charts combine satellite imagery with
traditional map or nautical chart elements to create the
first line of "photographic" maps and charts.
Satellite images show detail far
beyond that shown on traditional maps. Geometrically
corrected and overlaid with traditional map features
such as scale, latitude/longitude grids, place names,
and roads they combine the advantages of both a map and
a satellite photo in one "photo map." In
addition to those of land areas, satellite image maps of
coastal areas with depth soundings, hazards, and aids to
navigation offer mariners a photographic chart.

concept to combine digitally enhanced satellite imagery
with traditional maps and charts, using advanced
processing techniques, resulting in the publication of
our line of Navisat Maps & Charts. We currently
