What are vector charts?

Vector charts are digital representations of nautical charts that use mathematical formulas to describe the shapes and features of the chart. Unlike raster charts, which are scanned images of paper charts, vector charts can be zoomed in and out without losing resolution or detail. Vector charts can also be customized by the user to display different layers of information, such as depths, contours, buoys, lights, tides, currents, etc.



Vector charts are based on the international standard S57 format, which is developed by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). The S57 format defines the structure and content of the chart data, as well as the symbols and colors used to display them. However, different chart producers may use different versions or editions of the S57 format, which may affect the compatibility and accuracy of the charts.
