GPS Discrepancy Article
 

The issue of "Points East" just now hitting the stands has an article
about the significant chart discrepancy discovered at or near the spot
where the Portland, Maine fireboat ran aground. If you aren't in New
England or want to read it on line, it's now available at http://www.pointseast.com

If you want to see the charts, you'll have to read the full version of
the issue available in the link at the bottom of the page instead of
the feature story version.

I've had some interesting email exchanges on this with the owner of a
navigation software equipment company who is on an industry/government
charting standards advisory group and the fellow who wrote the article
sidebar. I just got an email from a product manager at West Marine is
found it very interesting and said is going to talk to their GPS
suppliers.

There is going to be more discussion about this soon on the "Points
East" forum:
