Built for the map you already have

Bring chart context into fleet monitoring, port operations, route-planning interfaces and spatial analysis. NautaCharts provides the chart display layer; vessel tracking, route calculation and application workflows remain yours.

Hosted PMTiles archives use HTTP byte-range requests, so a browser fetches the portions needed for its current view. The standalone plugin installs nautical styles and sprites without replacing the host map.

Common questions

Does NautaCharts work with Mapbox and MapLibre?

Yes. Both use the same chart style plugin. MapLibre applications register a PMTiles protocol; supported Mapbox applications use their host-owned PMTiles source. The documentation includes both integration paths.

Can I keep AIS and fleet overlays above the charts?

Yes. Set the plugin’s insertion layer to keep vessel, AIS and operational layers above the nautical chart layers.

Is this a navigation app or a routing engine?

NautaCharts is a chart display and delivery service for software teams. It does not replace your navigation application or provide a route calculation engine.

Is every European waterway covered?

No. Coverage follows available chart datasets and is not continuous across every waterway. Check the map and discuss your operating region before integrating.
