Goals and Objectives of navigation mapping

The main objectives of navigation mapping are as follows:

  • To obtain cartographic products that closely match the actual state of the terrain;
  • To supplement the maps with various thematic information created in accordance with the current regulatory and technical documents and the Technical Specification.


Advantages of Using Remote Sensing Data (RSD)

Remote sensing materials of very high and high resolution can be obtained more quickly, as they may already be available in the operator's archives, and new imaging does not require any approvals from competent authorities.

Remote sensing does not require on-site visits, unlike aerial imagery and UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) imaging.

Aerial imagery allows obtaining images with high spatial resolution (up to 1 cm/pixel) and provides a higher level of detail in the resulting orthophotoplans and models, with a root mean square error (RMSE) of coordinates determination less than 10 cm, and can be performed below the continuous cloud cover.

Navigation maps are maps designed for use in navigation on roads and other places. They contain information about roads, streets, bridges, tunnels, intersections, junctions, public transportation stops, airports, and other locations that may be useful when driving or walking. Navigation maps may also contain information about geographic features such as lakes, rivers, mountains, parks, etc. They may also contain information about landmarks, stores, restaurants and other places that may be useful to the user. Nowadays, navigation maps are available in different formats and can be used in different devices such as navigation systems in cars, smartphones, tablets and computers. They are also widely used in applications for cab ordering, food delivery, route finding and other such services.
Navigational nautical charts are the main tool for navigating ships in the maritime environment. They contain information about geographical features and navigational hazards that may be encountered during navigation, as well as other information necessary for the safe navigation of a ship. Nautical charts are divided into several types depending on the area of their use. For example, there are international charts, which are used for navigating the high seas and straits of the sea, and regional charts, which are designed for use in a specific region or coastline. Charts can also be categorized by scale, from large-scale charts that show fine detail to small-scale charts that show large areas but in less detail. Navigational nautical charts are created using modern technology and geodata. Cartographers collect data using a variety of sources such as satellites, hydrographic surveys, laser scans and other methods. It is then processed and used to create digital terrain models, which in turn are used to create navigational nautical charts. Various devices and technologies are used to navigate vessels in the maritime environment. A ship navigator is a device that is used to determine a vessel's position, plot a course and ensure safe navigation. It can be used in conjunction with navigation charts, which allows to find the optimal path and determine the ship's position at any time. Special programs and systems are used to create electronic navigation charts, which allow them to be processed and displayed on the screen. This provides convenience and accuracy in using the charts and reduces the time required to plot a course. Navigational nautical charts can also be used for navigation training and licensing to obtain permission to operate a marine vessel. In navigation training courses, students learn the principles of using navigational charts and the different instruments and devices used for navigation at sea. One important aspect of navigating at sea is to take into account the topography of the seabed and sea surface. Some navigation charts contain material about the bottom topography that help navigators avoid hazardous areas such as underwater rocks or coral reefs. In addition, nautical charts may also contain information about tides, currents, buoys, and other navigational markers that help boaters navigate their vessel at sea. Overall, navigational nautical charts are an integral part of safety at sea. They help boaters establish safe routes, avoid hazardous areas and manage their vessel at sea. Modern technology and methods of creating navigational charts make them more accurate and reliable, which in turn improves maritime safety and reduces the risks associated with navigation.

Navigation mapping are used in various situations related to sailing and navigation at sea. Some of the most common use cases for navigational charts include:

  1. Route planning: Mariners use navigational charts to plot safe routes while sailing. The charts help them avoid hazardous areas such as underwater rocks, reefs, or shallows, ensuring safe navigation.

  2. Location determination: Navigational charts are used to determine a vessel's position at sea. Navigators use instruments and devices like GPS or sonar to locate their position on the chart accurately.

  3. Safety assurance: Navigational charts assist mariners in ensuring the safety of their voyages by helping them avoid hazardous routes and areas at sea.

  4. Navigating in challenging conditions: Navigational charts are used to navigate in challenging conditions such as fog, nighttime, or poor visibility.

  5. Preparation for voyages: Navigational charts are used to prepare for voyages, allowing mariners to study routes and conditions in advance.

  6. Scientific and research purposes: Navigational charts are used for scientific and research purposes, such as studying tides, currents, and changes in seabed topography.

In general, navigational charts are crucial tools for mariners and navigators, ensuring safety at sea and assisting them in managing their vessels in challenging conditions.

There are several types of digital navigational charts used in modern sea navigation. Some of the most common types of digital navigational charts include:

  1. Electronic Charts: These are digital versions of traditional paper navigational charts that can be used on computers and other electronic devices.

  2. Radionavigation Charts: These charts are used for navigation using radionavigation systems such as GPS or GLONASS.

  3. 3D Charts: These are three-dimensional models of the terrain that allow mariners to visualize the seabed relief and other physical features of the area.

  4. Aerophotomaps: These maps are created based on aerial images of the area, allowing mariners to see the surroundings at a high resolution.

  5. Hydrographic Charts: These charts depict underwater relief and hydrographic features such as marine currents, tides, and depths.

  6. Topographic Charts: These charts show the terrain and physical features of the land surface and can be used for navigation at sea near the coastline.

Depending on the navigation objectives and sailing conditions, mariners and navigators can use different types of digital navigational charts to ensure safety at sea and successfully accomplish their tasks.

Navigation mapping focuses specifically on providing information for effective and efficient movement from one location to another. Unlike regular maps, navigation maps emphasize details such as roads, highways, landmarks, and turn-by-turn directions to guide users during travel.
Navigation maps use GPS (Global Positioning System) technology to determine the user's precise location on Earth. By receiving signals from satellites, GPS-enabled devices can calculate position, speed, and direction, ensuring accurate and real-time navigation information for users.
Routing algorithms in navigation mapping analyze various factors, including distance, traffic conditions, and travel time, to determine the most efficient route between a starting point and a destination. These algorithms help users navigate quickly and avoid congested or less optimal paths.
Navigation mapping applications often incorporate real-time traffic data obtained through GPS, mobile networks, and crowd-sourced information. This allows users to receive up-to-the-minute traffic updates, reroute around congested areas, and make informed decisions for a smoother and more efficient journey.
Augmented reality and voice-guided navigation have transformed the user experience in navigation mapping. AR overlays digital information onto the real-world view, providing intuitive visual cues, while voice-guided navigation offers hands-free directions, improving safety and convenience for users as they navigate unfamiliar routes.
