Top drawer all the way. Clear, concise and to the point. You are an excellent teacher. Subscribed and rang the bell here

Need more of this especially a situation whereby all the datums can be related for acquired data for different purposes

[josephlai]

As always, your instruction is both super clear, concise and a joy to watch and learn though I must say I find the narration a bit fast to catch at one instant. Had to rewind and listen again.But that's only me, a second-language English speaker. Thanks once again for sharing.

Clearance heights (Bridges, power lines etc) are now measured from HAT on UK Admiralty charts, for added safety.

Could you do a video on using chart datum and ordance datum to add an offset to tidal heights in order to get more accurate readings, I hope that makes sense, I am an undergrad student and would love to learn more

[mohammednavigateur]

hello sir, super explanation, can you do some videos about calculate set and drift ? i saw just one and not enough, please.

[setharnold]

Suddenly boats and ships running into bridges makes way more sense!

[Jaeverable]

Very well explained. Excellent.
I would like a video about other types of datums, eg WGS 84. And maybe one about different chart projections (mercator, great circle..) Thank you

Sir. If the MHWS for a fixing place is always same?and where can I find it?

[jacksparrow-vyfz]

Please make a video about current diamonds. Please please please 🙏🙏🙏

[mohsenrahimi]

So the chart datum is the lowest part of tidal force?
