Overall, the functionality of the viewer has not changed but one thing to note is the REST service URL for the ENC service has changed. The new NOAA ENC viewer utilizes the NOAA ENC Online REST service, part of Esri’s ArcGIS for Maritime, which allows users to not only interact with the ENC data in this viewer, but also use the REST end point in their own web viewers and applications. As the user zoomed in and out, ENC features became visible or invisible allowing for a seamless look at up-to-date chart data. This gave users the ability to click on the web map and zoom to selected features or locations, to see the information contained in more than a thousand electronic charts of NOAA-charted waters. In 2013, Coast Survey originally released NOAA ENC Online, a continuous viewer for NOAA’s electronic navigational charts (NOAA ENC®). On July 20, 2019, NOAA’s Office of Coast Survey unveiled two new GIS viewers - NOAA ENC® viewer and NOAA RNC® viewer - allowing users to seamlessly interact with NOAA’s various chart products.
