-------- Original Message -------- Subject: NGA removing JOGs, aeronautical and nautical charts from public sale Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:57:08 -0500 From: Russell Guy <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps, Air Photo, GIS Forum - Map Librarianship <[log in to unmask]> NGA has announced that they are removing from public sale aeronautical and nautical charts, including JOGs, ONC, TPC, JNC, and GNC charts. These charts are a necessity for flying in many regions of the world where other aeronautical charts are not available. A very sad decision by NGA. Rather than outright restricting the charts, NGA is putting so many restrictions on gov't map distributors that these distributors are giving up selling these items. To date no replacement distributor has been named, and IMHO none will be named. ************************************************************************************** Russell Guy [log in to unmask] Omnimap.com http://www.omnimap.com P.O.
