Question: is there any chance getting FREE inland ENCs of the German part of the Rhine River? By searching via Google, Yahoo, I found free ENCs for the Danube River (Austrian section) at http://www.doris.bmvit.gv.at/inland_ecdis/ueberblick/vorteile/ , for the Netherlands at http://www.risserver.nl/ENC/ , for the U.S. at http://chart.tec.army.mil/ChartServerV2.0/jsp/index.jsp , but nothing seems to be available for rivers in Germany.

This article is not NPOV as it clearly is written by an IMO official or an ECDIS manufactrurer who wishes to promote further regulations. "This distinction is often over-looked by would be purchasers, but those lawyers may not be quite so ready to ignore the regulations." For example a sentence like the above does not belong in an encyclopedic article. Strong capitalized words like HAVE TO and IMMEDIATELY are not used in a manner to invoke the writers own opinions to the reader. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.85.4.5 (talk) 11:48, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changed Vector Charts to ENC charts

There are a number of companies that provide digitized charts that have nothing to do with any legal defination ECDIS. Some parts of Google maps are a good example. ENC is also pretty meanless but what the heck.

Problem with raster chart section

"Raster navigational charts are raster charts that conform to IHO specifications and are produced by converting paper charts to digital image by scanner. The image is similar to digital camera pictures, which could be zoomed in for more detailed information as it does in ENCs."

Firstly, "The image is similar to digital camera pictures, which could be zoomed in" is bad grammer, as it mixes tenses.
More importantly, it is inaccurate (or at least incomplete and potentially misleading). Zooming in to a raster image does not show more detail, it just makes the image bigger. To get more detail, you would need to switch to a larger-scale chart. Now, I presume an ECDIS using raster charts will have a feature to switch to a larger scale chart when you zoom in, but this isn't what the text is saying (and is nothing like zooming in on a digital camera).

move

what is the reason for the move from Electronic Chart Display and Information System to Electronic chart display and information system (maritime)? There is absolutely no need for disambig here. signed:Donan Raven (talk, contribs) 07:38, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
