Navigational Chart Source?

[GreySkies]

I will be going on a trip to the Baltics soon, and was wondering if anyone knows where to get a navigational map (print) that Princess uses for their charity auction at the end of the cruise. I thought I might be able to make my own map for the trip using the coordinates and pictures from the one on display before the auction.

 

Thanks,

LOL, you should be able to get some replies on that one. I am amused at how many folk walk up to the chart just before the auction and take photos. It is displayed outside the glass so I guess that's the best time for a photo.

 

It kind of reminds me about the sign outside the photo gallery forbidding passengers from taking photos of the photos for sale. :eek: That's even a standard CD joke.

 

Someone should be able to look at their hi-res photo and tell you the name of the map-maker.

 

P.S. If you search "custom maritime navigational charts" you'll get lots of hits. Seems there's a plethora of sources. If you don't care that you get the exact same map source that Princess uses, you'll likely find what you need.

Oh… On the back it says something along the lines of (not for navigational use)

Mine is framed using old barn wood (Looks a lot like drift wood)…. Looks fantastic on the wall.
