Aus148 Plans in Bass Strait – Hogan Group (Nautical Chart)
Posted by Mick under: Maps & Compasses .
Just over a week ago, i was close to the Melbourne Map Centre at Malvern East, so i thought i would pop in and see what sort of Nautical Charts they might have had that covered the Hogan Group of Islands, and specifically Boundary Islet/Island which i mentioned in a previous post.
It turns out that they had the following map: Aus148 Plans in Bass Strait – Hogan Group (Nautical Chart). Having never bought a nautical chart before i was surprised to find that they cost substantially more than land based maps at just under $30 instead of around $10.
No doubt it probably costs more to map nautical area’s, and they probably don’t sell a lot of these maps so i can’t say that i was that surprised at the price.
Anyway…i scanned in part of the map and put together a mashup using the MapCruncher Beta for
Microsoft Virtual Earth.
