In this presentation, East View Geospatial (EVG) will share how they provide a wide range of vector and raster products produced from authoritative maritime and hydrographic sources to support the GIS-fluent research and analytical community. Known to navigators worldwide, vector-based Electronic Navigation Charts (ENCs) and their raster cousins RNCs have long provided unique and useful content to non-navigational users, just like print nautical charts before them. However, the legal requirements and technology evolution connected with supporting the navigation community have come at the expense of researchers and engineers around the world.

East View’s data has served researchers from a dynamic base of patrons concerned with the maritime and hydrographic aspects of climate change, boundary disputes and international security, biological and geological natural resources, green energy development, and even the social and historical sciences.

To aid researchers and engineers in the above aspects EVG provides numerous forms of maritime mapping information in the form of East View Maritime Vector (EVMV) data, which comes directly from sourcing ENC data from around the world. In addition to EVMV, we provide Print-On-Demand nautical charts, raster nautical charts, bathymetry data, etc. to ensure researchers can successfully implement and or complete their projects.
