The Distance Scale

Captain Al's Charting Pal

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.
