A nautical map, also known as a marine chart, is a type of map that is specifically designed for navigation at sea. It provides information about the depth of the water, the location of hazards such as rocks and shoals, and the location of landmarks such as lighthouses and buoys.
Nautical maps are essential for safe navigation, and they have been used by sailors for centuries. The earliest known nautical maps date back to the 13th century, and they were used by Arab and Chinese sailors. Over time, nautical maps became more sophisticated, and they began to include more information, such as the location of currents and tides.
