It’s important to note that small format charts do not satisfy U.S. Coast Guard carriage requirements. These charts are proportionately scaled down, meaning that while they provide a good visual reference, they are not intended for navigation. The scale bars on the charts are proportionally reduced, allowing for reference during planning, but should not be used as replacements for full-size NOAA charts in navigational scenarios.

All small format charts arrive rolled and not folded, which helps maintain their quality.
