What are the other files included with the NOAA ENC®?
Answer – Besides the CATALOG file explained above, there is a README.TXT file included that lists all of the NOAA ENC®s with their corresponding paper/raster chart number, title and other information. Each NOAA ENC® may have ancillary files associated with it. These may be text files that are analogous to chart notes on the paper chart or possibly information from the Coast Pilot. There also may be picture files such as .tif or .jpg files that include a picture that is linked to a feature(s) on the NOAA ENC®, such as a picture of a bridge.
