In December 1958 and in February 1961 meetings of the Institute were held at the suggestion of the Hydrographer of the Navy, so that the Admiralty chart could be discussed with sea-going chart users. This forum produced a number of valuable suggestions for the improvement of the charts including those affecting an improvement in chart coverage; and a request for routing charts, since published for the North and South Atlantic and the North Pacific Ocean, with those covering the remaining ocean areas in preparation.
