Does anyone kwos where I can find the IHO symbols & abbrevevations. I
need this to edit my self scanned electronic chart.


Both the Canadian and US charting authorities publish booklets called
"Chart 1 - Symbols and Abbreviations" (each showing their own national
quirks, as well as the international stuff).

I would expect that chart authorities in other countries to have
similar publications, and that they would be available wherever you
buy charts.
