Are C-Map vector or raster charts?
C-Map are vector charts. Vector/Raster are the different ways a chart can be digitised (for computer use). A good analogy is if raster is a photograph of a house, then vector would be the architect’s plans for the house. A photograph is simply a collection of coloured dots – our brain pieces these together and recognises walls, roof etc. With the architect’s plans, a wall knows it is a wall and also knows all the individual pieces that are used to construct it.
