Hello! Is anyone good at reading nautical charts? I’m having a hard time with this one. What natural feature is found at 34°N 120° 15W? I see Rodriguez Seamount, but I’m not too sure.
Thanks in advance!!
I've been looking at stuff online, and even a possible one on Amazon. But mostly I've came across high prices, and shady websites. The whole reason I bought the fish finder in the first place was for the nautical chart, but I cant seem to figure it out. My fish finder is a dragon fly, and takes sd cards. Thank you in advance!!
"Bajo" and "Bajos" are shown often on nautical charts around Galicia, apparently naming shallows or reefs like "Bajos do Cabalo" (north of A Ferrol). What's the best translation in this nautical context? Thanks.
A full sized paper nautical chart based on the stormworks map would be an interesting and unique piece of merch, especially if the chart is accurate enough for in game navigation using parallel rulers and 7” dividers.
Thoughts?
Edit: chart probably has to be tied to a specific seed or something
I was looking at some 18th century French (I think) nautical charts of Spanish colonies that I found on the Spanish National Institute of Geography website, and a detail stroke me: all the lines that converge in different points in the map. Link. If you can't open it, here you have another example.
I don't see why the mapmaker would add this. It can't be related to some type of triangulation, and it actually obstructs the rest of the map. And as far as I know, these maps had an actual practical use, so it wouldn't have much sense to add unnecessary decoration.
Where is the best place to download high quality charts for freshwater lakes in the US?
So I spent some more time looking at the map on the wall of Alva's steamboat 'Miss Adventure' in P3:E6 at ~5:00 mark.Dreamland is in the bottom left corner, Steamland taking up the middle.
Words I can make out:
"Tunnel to the Top of the Earth"
"Screamland"
"Clown Town"
"Quicksand Beach"
"Here be way too many bees"
[Edit]"Here be an outlet mall"
"Steam Island"
Words I'm not sure about:"New Alvasburg" (?)"University Sciences" (?)
I only have an HD subscription, not 4k, so I don't know if someone can get a sharper pic, but I'd appreciate any other insights.
I wonder if the 'tunnel to the top of the earth' will play into the future of the show somehow.

Hello boaters,
I'm writing a book and need some expertise with nautical charts. I'm hoping you can help with two questions.
- I'm attaching a pic. Is the symbol in the blue circle supposed to represent a big piece of debris or a log? Otherwise, what is it?
- I'm trying to pinpoint the exact location of Sand Island off of Havre de Grace, MD. I don't understand why it's not on this chart at the site I've been using (http://fishing-app.gpsnauticalcharts.com/i-boating-fishing-web-app/fishing-marine-charts-navigation.html?title=HEAD+OF+CHESAPEAKE+BAY+boating+app#12.75/39.5171/-76.0975) but it is on the Google map/satellite. Can anyone see it/separate it from Battery Island on the chart I've been using?
Thank you so much in advance!

Given the existence of GATE: Weigh Anchor and the not too recent JMSDF sub collision incident does the author address the challenges of undersea navigation in universe? Especially given how land navigation is hand waved off by "detailed recon of prior units" and "satellite mapping"
Edit: If you want to know more on the sub collision check out this video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=httacbcqfE4&ab_channel=SubBrief
I'm totally digging the LiDAR stuff. I've been going nuts with JHatch's tool... http://jthatch.com/Terrain2STL/
But how about the opposite of Terrain and LiDAR...has anyone attempted printing out nautical depth charts, on any scale? Either local rivers and such, all the way up to ocean shelfs?
If so, how about pointing me in a direction?
