Why have we eXcluded Land (XL)?

Land mapping datasets like Google Maps tend to fill bodies of water with a shade of blue, because maritime information isn’t useful for the majority of their users. In the same vein, Nautical Charts fill land with a mustard shade. These datasets are suitable for someone navigating a car, or a ship, but what happens when your use case requires harmonised land and maritime information? RCXL is developed to solve this exact issue.

How much do they cost / how do I buy?

Raster Charts XL can be supplied as individual charts or as a Web Map Tile Service (WMTS). Prices vary depending on the area of interest, service and scale required. Raster Charts are priced per chart. Prices vary depending on the area and scale required.

Commercial customers can purchase Marine Themes DEM and our other mapping products via our network of Licensed Partners who resell our data products. If your needs are more complex, you need help in choosing your product or you are Government/Academia/ NGOs please contact us.
