Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to share with the international hydrographic community, in particular with the Hydrographic Services of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), how the Chilean Navy Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service (SHOA) has developed a solution, -applying computer and graphics technology- to the old and continuing problem of updating the nautical charts stored in the chart depot. Before putting into service the present project, the updating was done by manually applying the corrections published every fifteen days in the Bulletin of Notices to Mariners.
