Yes. In a former life as a submarine officer, I helped gather data for producing charts. I also have a healthy respect for how difficult it is to get it right. Most people seem to think that GPS is the solution to everything, conveniently ignoring the fact that a 30 foot error at the channel entrance means that you run aground. Also, GPS doesn't work underwater. We have other ways of navigating when submerged.
