-------- Original Message -------- Subject: legends for NIMA/NGA charts Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2008 14:32:41 -0500 From: Michael Fry <[log in to unmask]> Organization: University of Maryland Libraries To: Maps and Air Photo Systems Forum <[log in to unmask]> Anybody know if there's a legend or guide to symbols used on NGA's aero charts (i.e., TPCs)? [James Boxall asked this question in '96 but I didn't find any replies in the listserv archives. You remember the answer, James?! ;)] FAA's Aeronautical Chart User's Guide [http://www.naco.faa.gov/index.asp?xml=naco/online/aero_guide] describes chart symbols used in FAA's domestic aero charts, but according to the National Aeronautical Charting Office rep I just spoke to, the Guide applies *only* to domestic aero charts, not to DoD's int'l charts. I've not found evidence of an equivalent guide for DoD charts, either in my collection or online, so I'm hesitant to tell my patron that FAA's could be safely used (even though I suspect it could). Thanks for any ideas. mf -- Michael Fry Government Information, Maps and GIS Services 4118 McKeldin Library University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742 301.314.1357 | [log in to unmask]
