Well, not entirely lacking in the SH series, as poor old SH2 would give you the depth as you passed the cursor around the map.

But, even the best charts weren't always accurate, and the ones that were weren't always available to everyone, especially ones that weren't of known harbors.

And the best charts and the best equipment and the best sattelite imagery didn't keep a modern nuclear sub from ramming one of those undersea mountains not to long ago.

But I agree: charts with some soundings on them would be nice.
