Complete list of all waypoints recorded in the NV Charts Baltic Regions 1 - 4 for the Baltic Sea.

Tips for navigation

The waypoints are selections of buoys approaches or corner points at safe water depths suitable for recreational boating. Positions are in degrees and minutes to 2 decimal places. This gives a tolerance of 35m. Sea marks are usually laid with a tolerance of 50m.
To transfer a desired waypoint from the nautical chart to your electronic navigation type the coordinates from the booklet into the unit and start the waypoint navigation. You save yourself the manual tapping of the coordinates in the nautical chart when setting up the route plan.

Using NV Charts waypoints also in the chart plotter

Sailing yachts that are equipped with a chart plotter can import the NV Charts waypoints into the device in one go. Then when planning a route waypoints along a route can be taken from the NV.Atlas nautical charts and selected directly in the chart plotter. It couldnt be easier.
Please check the route between waypoints to ensure you are always in safe (and deep) waters.
