Uncover the ways Aleksandar Grkov (the company) bills you and cancel your NOAA Nautical Charts & Map subscription.
A few things to note and do before cancelling:
1. Originally designed for large commercial vessels using a sophisticated navigational computer called an Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), ENCs are now also being used on simpler electronic chart systems and “chart plotters” on many types of ships and by recreational boaters.
2. RNCs can be used with global positioning system (GPS) enabled electronic chart systems or other “chart plotter” display systems to provide real-time vessel positioning.
3. NOAA RNCs DO NOT meet USCG chart carriage requirements for commercial vessels.
4. Since complete ENC coverage is available in all U.S. waters, vessels required to use ECDIS may not navigate with NOAA RNCs.
5. RNC are high resolution, full-color, geo-referenced, digital images of NOAA paper nautical charts.
6. * 1000+ NOAA Navigational Charts for online use that includes GPS location, navigation plotting and more.
7. NOAA RNC® charts are full-color, geo-referenced, digital images of NOAA paper nautical charts.
8. NOAA RNCs comply with the International Hydrographic Organization RNC Product Specification.
9. NOAA RNCs may be downloaded free from the NOAA chart locator or the NOAA nautical chart catalog.
10. * 1000+ NOAA Raster Navigational Charts (RNC) available for download and for offline use.
11. NOAA ENCs comply with the International Hydrographic Organization ENC Product Specification.
12. NOAA ENCs help provide real-time ship positioning, as well as collision and grounding avoidance.
13. Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC) are vector data sets that support all types of marine navigation.
14. NOAA maintains more than 1,000 NOAA ENC® datasets over U.S. coastal waters and the Great Lakes.
