Legacy website data has been consolidated into a single page which makes the searching process a more intuitive user experience. Responsive design has been implemented making the site\u00a0both desktop and mobile friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional searching and sorting functionality has been added to the new catalog to increase product accessibility. The redesign provides the ability for users to find and download NOAA RNC\u00ae, full-sized nautical charts in PDF format, BookletCharts\u2122, notice to mariners chart corrections, a list of chart agents, and the ability to view online images of raster (paper) charts. A quick search of the entire chart suite is available on the main page if the user knows the chart number, title, or scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some aspects of the legacy catalog are retained, including the interactive map that separates the catalog into eight main regions. Each region contains several sub-regions derived from the catalog PDF tables and images. The new catalog design provides the flexibility to add more data in the tables in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With NOAA\u2019s new Nautical Chart Catalog, users can readily access raster data and charting products in list format.
