About the Chart Assistant series: The Inside Passage Chart Assistant series covers the entire BC coastline from Washington State to Alaska in a uniform scale for consistent application. All Chart Assistants are printed on heavy synthetic paper to withstand the toughest conditions. The new #500 series replaces the individual mapsheets in the previous #300 series and all #500 series mapsheets are double-sided with map information only, unlike the Deck Toppers which provide additional textual logistical and travel planning information. Use the Chart Assistants for transits and visual trip planning and logistics, and the Deck Toppers for more detailed holiday planning.

Combining with Deck Toppers: The #200 series Deck Toppers are twice the resolution of Chart Assistants, and cover the area in more detail including text descriptions for hazards, features and attractions. If you just wish to see the coast visually, use a Chart Assistant. If you want to explore a region and plan out a regional trip or holiday, use a Deck Topper. If you wish a larger regional overview and trip planning information, use both.
