The electronic chart is an aid to navigation designed to facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not to replace them. Only official government charts and notices to mariners contain all information needed for the safety of navigation, and as always, the captain is responsible for their prudent use.
Always remember the prudent mariner will not rely solely on any single aid to navigation.
all charts and maps are for reference purposes only. You assume all responsibility and risk
for their use .Boaters should carry VHF, paper charts, compass and boat marine GPS onboard at all time.
