Venice lagoon chart vs DeQua

The first lagoon chart available as an App, produced by Mare di Carta publisher building on the experience of the printed "Carta della laguna di Venezia" at 1:25,000 scale, drawn from the official data of the Interregional Authority for Public Works of Veneto, Trentino Alto Adige and Friuli Venezia Giulia, which for over 500 years — once known as the Magistrato alle Acque and today as the Venice Lagoon Authority — has overseen the lagoon's waters. Featuring marinas, harbours, fuel stations, slipways and other information useful for navigation, the app includes a nautical navigator that calculates routes along the navigable channels taking into account your type of vessel and draught, and offers a handy speedometer for boaters showing in real time the maximum permitted speed in the channel you are sailing and the channel's name. The app gives a visual warning when the speed limit is exceeded. For those travelling by public transport, the app displays the ACTV vaporetto stops on the map. For everyone, historical information — island by island — and environmental insights are available for a better visit and understanding of today's lagoon, including the changes brought about by the safeguarding works. Real-time data on tides, temperature and other environmental information can also be consulted. "Carta della laguna" is therefore an indispensable tool for getting to know the lagoon: a guide for the visitor, but also a wealth of practical information for those who already know the lagoon well and appreciate finding so many layered details in a single app.
