One thing I'm not personally fond of? The 'buoy numbers', not the lighted buoys, but all the others! On this chart, many (but not all) of the other buoys on the chart are numbered. According to their website, these numbers coincide with waypoint numbers in someone's personal way points for each buoy. Well that is fine, but it's useless to the rest of us as we don't have these waypoints loaded into the GPS on board our boats. Now if they offered a listing of these waypoints, either online, or with something that we could load into our various different brands and models of GPS, then it would be useful information. Or, if each of the MP boat's GPS had these waypoints loaded into them, then it maybe helpful to know the buoy number, but I think these numebers simply add some clutter to the chart, and could cause some confusion during a radio call for help. Do you know where " Buoy #736" is? Could you find it on your chart in a hurry? Even with this chart in my hand, I don't think I could easily find this buoy! But on the other hand, I suppose it does tell you which buoys were checked by GPS and which ones may not have been. But this may be a bad assumption.

Summary: I'm not fond of the extra 'numbers' on this chart.
If you read their website, it mentions that the extra numbered buoys are from the GPS waypoints of someone in the MP that checked the locations of the buoys and supplied the list to Duncan Press.
