Maps
I know there are other sites that offer some of these map functions, but for strictly looking at different maps this site is very good. Has sectionals, WAC, IFR hi/low, terrain, satellite.

Re: Maps
Maps are for hikers, automobilers, and surveyors.
Charts are for aviators and sailors.

Re: Maps
A MAP will provide routing, roads, shorelines, major bodies of water, etc.
A CHART will provide magnetic direction, topographical/marine/elevation/depth/altitude data.

Re: Maps
As a student pilot, I was taught;
a map is a graphical representation of a portion of the earth's surface
a chart is a graphical representation of a portion of the earth's surface used for navigation.

Re: Maps
That depends upon the complexity of the map/chart....as some have no words to read, and someHarold Holiman wrote:I wonder if George can read eather a map or a chart
are written in obsolete languages of medieval cartographers.
PS Harold, cartographer stems from the Latin cart, meaning CHART.
Grapher refers to the scribe who creates the illustration, usually using a writing device
made of carbon or GRAPHITE, and sometimes referred to as a pencil,
(derived also from Latin. Perhaps those are not taught in Georgia/Alabama
schools.....they used to be taught in Texas until Bill Clements was elected governor.)
That's when the political MAP changed over here.

I alway called them Maps. My Navigators insisted on calling them Charts.

Re: Maps
I call them charts and Carolyn calls them maps. When navigating by map/chart, I like to keep the map/chart oriented with north to the top whereas Carolyn prefers to rotate the map/chart with the direction you are headed to the top of the map/chart. Do most of you prefer north to the top or your direction to the top when navigating with map/charts?
