Cartes marines Navicarte
Navicarte the paper card in foldable format
Navicarte is a Topoplastic company, part of the Plastimo group.Navicarte creates and markets high-quality navigation charts. They are often contrasted with shom charts. Navicarte paper charts are more playful, colorful and the main information is easy to read. For example, you may find on a chart symbols indicating a port, a traffic light, a luminous buoy, and so on. A shom map may reflect a better reality of the water, but it's harder to read and more austere for many. The prices of a shom chart and a navicarte chart are quite similar.
