----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Since the posting on January 4 about this new map, several people have contacted me about the unusual TPC which covers all of the Bosnia and Herzegovinia area. A service representative at the NOAA Distribution Branch (302/436-6990) told me that this is a special purpose map and is not in their sales database, although it appears to be unclassified and probably has already been distributed in thousands of copies. I thought that it would be available immediately, but apparently it is not currently available through NOAA. The chart does show the NOAA Distribution Branch N/CG33, National Ocean Service, Riverdale, MD 20737-1199 as a source of DMA products, so I wouldn't give up but try again later. The list price for a TPC is US $4.95, which I think is a bargain for an interesting chart. > Federal Depository Library Program participants and others who like to > follow world events may be interested to look at the new Tactical Pilotage > Chart released by the Defense Mapping Agency.
