These services provide a copy of NOAA’s Raster Nautical Charts (RNCs) that cover Alaskan waters. These services are to be used for NONE NAVIGATION purposes only. This service provides the RNCs in the original, unclipped form, and includes the “collar” around the charts. Each chart is in a separate group, and each group contains all the sub charts within the chart. A paper chart might include a number of smaller charts inset inside of it. All of the sub-charts that would compose a single paper map are grouped into a single layer group, with each sub-chart as a separate layer. Please keep in mind that this service includes the collars around the charts. The url for this service is “http://wms.alaskamapped.org/cgi-bin/charts_nc.cgi?”. Here is a link to the Get Capabilities document.
