TCarta has introduced a new line of Satellite Reconnaissance Charts designed to complement official marine navigation maps in shallow waters. These digital maps, derived from recently acquired satellite imagery, adhere to International Hydrographic Organization S-57 and S-100 data model standards, mirroring the appearance and symbology of official navigation aids.

The TCarta Charts provide up-to-date information on seafloor depths, sandbars, reefs, shoals and other submerged hazards, as well as floating dangers in near-shore environments. The new products are particularly valuable for shallow water navigation, where official nautical map products, primarily designed for commercial shipping lanes, may lack detail.

Available in off-the-shelf 1:20,000 scale and custom 1:4,000 scale, the TCarta Satellite Reconnaissance Charts are delivered in file formats compatible with popular marine navigation software and common GIS platforms. This compatibility ensures easy integration into existing navigation systems.

These charts are designed to serve as a supplementary tool, providing mariners with additional information to navigate potentially hazardous near-shore environments more safely.
