CARIS recently conducted one of the first Paper Chart Composer training courses at the Hydrographic Office of the Polish Navy (HOPN) in Gdynia, Poland. The nautical cartography department of HOPN has been using CARIS GIS since 1999 and has now decided to upgrade their chart production tools to the recently released Paper Chart Composer.

Paper Chart Composer is the successor to the long-trusted CARIS GIS product. Paper Chart Composer delivers a highly intuitive workflow for creation of any official or customized paper chart. Training topics included sheet and panel definition, conversion of ENC data to paper chart features, digitizing tools, topology, annotation, masking, and vector and raster outputs.
