What is Navigational Chart Work Overview about?

Chart work involves using navigational charts to aid navigation. Charts show depth, shorelines, hazards and more. Common chart projections include Mercator and gnomonic. Mercator charts distort areas but are good for rhumb line sailing. Gnomonic charts accurately show great circles as straight lines. Charts have limitations as underwater features can change, and not all areas are thoroughly surveyed. Navigators should use the largest scale charts available.
