topic Looking for NOAA Raster Navigational Charts (RNCs) in Transportation Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/transportation-questions/looking-for-noaa-raster-navigational-charts-rncs/m-p/476574#M1624 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I've searched high and low for a good quality NOAA nav chart basemap for some figures I'm making. I have tried everything from Chart Navigator Pro to an ArcGIS Online basemap which exists. Chart Navigator pro doesn't seem to integrate well with ArcGIS, so i'm essentially opening the .BSB/.KAP files which I need directly into ArcMap 10. These look just ok, but when I export them as pdfs, they look terrible unless the resolution is cranked up to around 500 or 600, which makes the files massive. If I try to optimize these pdfs, the compression kills the quality.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The ArcGIS Online basemap was added on 8/22/2011 by NOAA_CMSP. I've found that it does help in certain areas, but depending on the scale, it will display an entirely different chart than the one I need and I seem to have no control over this (like the different scales for topos). Exports are still fairly large and pixelated with this route too. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'd love to hear any suggestions you good people may have.&nbsp; Thanks!</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>~Carlisle</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 20 Dec 2011 22:10:07 GMT CarlisleHaworth 2011-12-20T22:10:07Z Looking for NOAA Raster Navigational Charts (RNCs) https://community.esri.com/t5/transportation-questions/looking-for-noaa-raster-navigational-charts-rncs/m-p/476574#M1624 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I've searched high and low for a good quality NOAA nav chart basemap for some figures I'm making.
