UKHO adds QR Codes to standard nautical charts

摘要

The UK hydrographic Office has introduced QR (Quick Response) codes to its portfolio of standard nautical charts, allowing users of paper versions to access status information via smart phones or tablets. By scannning a chart's QR code, the user will be taken to the relevant page on the UKHO's searchable Notices to Mariners database, NM Websearch, and chart status information will then be relayed to their smart phone or tablet.
