ScanNav ENCs officielles SHOM - Primar

ENC packs available by zone


In addition to "raster" charts (issued from scan, such as Maptech), ScanNav supports S57 vector charts, including Official ENCs (*) from IHO, coded in S63 format.

In vector charts, each object is known as such, and ScanNav can query each of them to show their details. You can therefore show the sectors of a light to immediately visualize their angle and range.

(*) Official ENCs are the original survey of the hydrographic offices, contrarily to "private" vector charts that have been reproduced manually by digitalizing the paper charts. This therefore eliminates potential human errors in reproduction. (see article from SHOM on this subject)
