Recommended for you

In the Finnish General Maps product group, you will find general maps of Finnish coastal waters and inland waters that cover large areas on one map — for example, General Map 951 (Eastern Gulf of Finland), General Map 957 (Kvarken) and General Map 956 (Northern Bothnian Sea) for marine areas, and Inland Water Map 452 (Pielavesi-Nilakka) and Inland Water Map 447 (Konnevesi-Virmasvesi) for lake waters. The selection therefore covers navigation of both the coast and the thousands of lakes in Finland, as many inland water routes require just as careful planning as a sea voyage.

The purpose of a general chart is different from that of a detailed coastal chart: it shows the entire route and area at once, allowing the length of the journey, intermediate ports, inlets and larger channels to be seen at a glance. Detailed navigation in narrow archipelago channels or when entering a port requires a more accurate special chart on a larger scale — a general chart is therefore a route planning tool, not the last word in a narrow channel.

The maps are based on official data from the Finnish Maritime Administration and are regularly updated with changes to the waterways, new safety devices and depth information — if you are using an old map, it is always a good idea to check the year of publication and compare it with the latest edition before a long trip. A paper map acts as a backup system alongside a plotter: it does not require power, it shows the entire route at once without zooming and it works even if the electronics fail. Many boaters laminate their maps or keep them in a waterproof map case near the helm so that the route can be quickly checked in any weather.

Choose a general chart based on the area you will mainly be sailing in: coastal charts cover the sea area including archipelagos, while inland charts cover a single lake in its entirety. When planning longer trips, it is a good idea to obtain consecutive charts for the entire route in advance so that you have an overview of the route at every stage of the journey.

It is also worth noting that some of the general maps cover the border with Swedish or Estonian waters — always check the border markings on the map if you are planning a trip that extends across the border, so that the entire route can be found by combining one or more maps. Many boaters keep the entire general map set of their sailing area in their boat library, even if the main navigation is done with a plotter — this way you can quickly check the route also when planning in advance on land, and not just on the boat.

A new or inexperienced boater will especially benefit from the overview of the general map: it allows you to quickly see where the narrowest points on the route, large open water areas and possible alternative ports can be found before setting off, making the actual navigation during the trip on a more accurate map or plotter much smoother.
