Electronic versions of familiar nautical paper charts but with land mapping excluded so that alternative land mapping may be combined for a preferred view. Marine Charts XL can be opened using any image viewer software and are geo-referenced for use in geographical information systems (GIS). These charts are ideal for applications where a set of familiar features and related symbology is required for reference or as a backdrop to other data.

Raster Charts XL are available in different scales in different sea areas. They are available at Large Scale for estuaries and harbours (greater than 1:30 000), Medium Scale for coastal waters (1:30 000 to 1:150 000) and Small Scale for sea areas (Less than 1:150 000). Supplied as half-degree tiles in GeoTIFF format at the largest scales available for a selected area of interest and may also include smaller scale data (included at the same price).
