How to Read a Nautical Chart : A Complete Guide to the Symbols, Abbreviations, and Data Displayed on Nautical Charts

Rating:
Summary: Do it yourself navigation
Review: This is an excellent book. It is well organized, and the illustrations are large enough that you can actually see what the author is talking about. If you are new to navigation, the "Includes Chart No. 1" on the cover will be confusing. The government no longer publishes Chart No. 1, which was a guide to symbols on nautical charts. The author included the entire contents of "Chart No. 1" in the text of the book, so don't look for a seperate item labled "Chart No. 1."
