Thread: Modern Nautical and Aeronautical Charts

  1. #1

    Default Modern Nautical and Aeronautical Charts

    I was thinking of doing this months lite challenge and had an idea for a sort of dieselpunk airship pirate treasure map based on modern style nautical and aeronautical charts. Got some nice reserch. I did a quick search and didn't see any resources for those sorts of maps here, soi thought it might be nice to do a bit of a dump for anyone else who might be interested. I don't think I misplaced this. Thought it deserved a thread of it's own.
