PRIMAR Electronic Navigation Charts (ENC)

Primar cartography is a unified database of electronic navigation maps (ENCs) with a convenient catalog.
The PRIMAR map collection includes six types of maps: survey, general, coastal, approaches, harbors and marinas.
Each type is designed for specific navigation tasks and provides the right level of detail for a specific navigation area.

• Visualization of the global coverage of nautical charts with the option to select a specific region and level of detail.
