Included Charts
This service includes all the NOAA RNCs that cover Alaskan waters. The complete list can be viewed here .
Missing Charts
This service does not include a number of charts because of issues with the RNCs metadata. In most cases this was because the charts are in a projection that is not documented, but in a few cases it is because of improper chart metadata.

- The Charts service is meant to provide a unified view of the RNC data, without the collar information. The service is designed to only display charts that are meaningful at the requested scale. The url for this service is “http://wms.alaskamapped.org/cgi-bin/charts.cgi?”. Here is a link to the Get Capabilities document.
Layers
- This service provides a large number of layers. The visibility of the layers are controlled by scale limits in such a way as so layers are only visible if they are meaningful at the scale of the current request. The recommended way to use the service is to turn all the layers on and let the service choose which layers are visible for a given request.
