Pat, I keep one of those super small scale chart/placemats in my chart library when cruising the San Juan islands as a big picture reference. Many of the charts we use are either 1:25,000 or 1:80,000. I figured out the placemat was about 1:450,000 and is a copy of the NOAA 1:250,000. You know most any reproduction of a chart is going to say *Danger-NOT to be used for Navigation* as they are not the most recent, up to date, issue of the chart. Many of the waterproof versions are also labled the same. Hey for kayaking Nav reference at the 1:450,000 scale?? Does this mean I break the law every time I use my placemat for navigation! =:-o) steve *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
