Esential Part of Boat Navigation
If you boat, you need charts. If you have charts, you need this book. This is a replacement for the government published chart 1. It is well laid out and easy to use once you spend a few minutes with it and a chart of your favorite area for boating.
Quibles - The abbreviations are split into three sections, so if you don't find your chart abbreviation in one index, go to the next, or the next. I feel that this would be more useful as one index, with descriptions like in a dictionary - Fl G - (All) Flashing Green light.....

Great for beginners
I used this book while taking an ASA sailing course on navigation. It is easy to use and great for someone who has never looked at a chart before.

Useful map key for the overly interested
I am a map person and this guide is the ultimate resource for ALL icon/keys on every ocean or lake chart currently published in the USA. Highly educational for the boater who wants to be able to read and understand your chart down to the smallest detail.
