The Distance Scale
Charts come in
different scales. This is indicated by the distance
scale of your chart. The larger the scale the less
detail and the greater area covered. A chart that
took you across the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas would
have a larger scale than one you used inside Miami
Harbor.
The Charting Pal has the most popular scales found
on charts. All multiples of 40,000 to 1 can be read
directly from the scale on the Charting Pal. Look at
the scale area of your chart to see the scale of
your chart is using. |
