The new NOAA Chart Display Service (NCDS) renders NOAA electronic navigational chart (NOAA ENC\u00ae) data with \u201ctraditional paper chart\u201d symbology in online and offline applications for which a basemap of nautical chart data is desired, including GIS, web-based, and mobile mapping applications. The new service uses symbols, labels, and color schemes familiar to those who have used NOAA paper nautical charts or the NOAA Custom Chart<\/a> application. NCDS is available as Esri REST Map Service, OGC Web Map Service (WMS), and MBTiles formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

NOAA is developing an online NCDS viewer that will enable users to easily pan and zoom through U.S. ENC data rendered by the NCDS. This preview of the viewer<\/a> \u2013 available on the Coast Survey website soon \u2013 will give you an idea of what the NCDS rendered data looks like.<\/p>\n

The NCDS replaces the Raster Navigational Chart (RNC) Tile Service and the Seamless RNC Service. These services are being shut down on March 15 as part of NOAA\u2019s continuing transition away from traditional paper and raster nautical charts in order to focus on improving and modernizing ENC coverage<\/a>. Production of all traditional paper and raster charts will end by January 2025, as described on Coast Survey\u2019s Farewell to Traditional Nautical Charts<\/a> web page.<\/p>\n

The new chart display service joins the existing ECDIS Display Service that uses symbology specified by the International Hydrographic Organization<\/a> (IHO) for the display of ENC data on Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS) that large ocean-going vessels and many smaller commercial ships use for navigation. This symbol set is commonly referred to by its IHO specification number, \u201cS-52,\u201d or as \u201cECDIS symbology.\u201d This service is available in Esri REST Map Service and OGC Web Map Service (WMS) formats.<\/p>\n\n\n

Links for all of these ENC-based display services are on Coast Survey\u2019s ENC Display Services<\/a> web page. Note that the links do not open viewers that can display the ENC data directly. The links provide access to the rendered ENC data that software and web map developers can use in their applications to display the data.<\/p>\n

Coast Survey is interested in knowing how developers are implementing the new NOAA Chart Display Service in online and offline applications, and what users think about the way the ENC data is being portrayed. You can submit questions or comments, and report problems, through Coast Survey’s ASSIST<\/a> stakeholder engagement and feedback tool.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
