🔍 Key Concepts

• U.S. chart symbology as explained in Chart No. 1 (legends, symbols, and abbreviations) • The difference between conspicuous and inconspicuous landmarks used in navigation • How text style (capital vs. lowercase letters, bold, italics) is used on charts to convey extra meaning

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When you’re navigating visually, which landmarks are easiest to identify from a distance, and how might chartmakers emphasize those? • Think about other features on a chart that are obviously important to mariners; notice whether they are printed in all caps or mixed case and what that might be telling you. • Consider how a cartographer could quickly show, with just lettering style, that a feature stands out strongly against the background when seen from seaward.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check in Chart No. 1 how different lettering styles (ALL CAPS vs. mixed case) are defined for landmarks. • Verify which term—conspicuous or inconspicuous—describes an object that is easily visible and stands out clearly in normal conditions. • Confirm that the presence of a radio transmitter or a government facility has its own specific chart symbols and is not indicated only by capital letters.
