NOAA CHART PHOTOS ON FRUGAL NAVIGATOR ARE BEING UPDATED IN 2024 AND 2025

For the past few years, NOAA has been transitioning to paper charts based on Electronic Navigation Chart (ENC) data.  These new charts have many advantages for the navigator but might not be as appealing to Artists or folks framing their chart.

When you order a NOAA chart from Frugal Navigator, we will assume that you are using it to navigate and send the up-to-date ENC version.  If you are using the chart for artistic purposes, or  framing it, and prefer we send the traditional (yet discontinued) chart, please leave a note during checkout that you will not be using it for navigation. Orders that are noted as Not for Navigation will receive the traditional version from our archives.

When you do visit one of our product pages for a NOAA chart, look for the blue NOAA logo in the lower left corner of the photo.  If you don't see it, you are looking at a Traditional Chart and we haven't yet changed the photo.

At this time, we would like to thank all of our customers for their patience as we update the thousands of photos on our website to reflect this NOAA transition.  If you have any question, please do not hesitate to email scott@frugalnavigator.com.
