>>2353882>.and it's pretty clear you've never navigated on the ocean. I used to navigate for racing boats.I was an ANAV on a US submarine from 2013-2017.
The reason I asked if there is a NTM equivalent for land maps, is that there are constant updates to be reviewed and applied to charts. Buoy changes, landmarks removed, traffic separation schemes, etc. These days its all electronic and rather easy.
Even if you were to apply corrections to an old print chart, such as a hazard or stay-out area, it would be in the wrong place unless you take note of these things and make conversions. All this shit is literally a job and the least fun part of going out, and completely a novelty experience in 2022.
pic related, from the latest bowditch. The there are also sounding/bathymetric datums, which is what you probably thought I was confused by, but those wouldn't apply to land navigation.
>Paper maps are now extremely easy to attain and updated consistently.Instead of buying tons of random maps, just get something cheap and simple like a GPSMAP 78S, which if you've been on racing boats before fancy things like combo radar/chartplotter/fishfinders became common place, you're probably familiar with. Even on large vessels they're around for piloting use. They're portable, versatile, easy to update for all your charts, provide GPS, the benefits are significant.
