Thanks a lot I'll have a look at them. The size is important as too big a chart is too difficult to use and too small might have text too small to read.

That said, I would like to see something similar, but for the coastlines: all the seacoast cities and towns, lightships, everything that is on a real nautical chart. I keep an actual KM grid chart plus several National Geographic maps on my desk, so I can log my position by land location as well as sea coordinates.

That's a bad thing to hear. I'm always looking for the as close to historical as possible touch, so I guess having a detailed map is out of the question in that sense.

I've seen some of the actual KM charts in the internet and they on the other hand are so big (they have to be in order to be readable) that they can't be modded in. They are so big that dragging them in the map screen is really a drag (a pun intended, sorry if it doesn't work, English is only a Subsim language to me). They would need to be edited into smaller chunks but that would lead to loads of little pictures making it difficult to use them.

I would really like to add the grid chart that came with Aces of the Deep but that map is too big as well. If one makes it smaller, one can't read the depth texts anymore. In other words, You're lucky that you have the paper charts
