FAQ
001 to PIC Conversion
What are 001 files?
001 is the file extension of the first update to an electronic navigational chart (ENC) in the IHO S-57 format. Sea charts change all the time: a buoy is moved, a wreck is found, a channel is dredged, a depth is corrected. Instead of sending the whole chart again, the hydrographic office issues a small update file that lists only what is new, changed, or removed, and the first of them has the extension .001. The file has the same name as the base chart cell, whose extension is .000, and it cannot be used on its own. Later updates follow as .002, .003, and so on. Most of these changes correspond to the official Notices to Mariners.
What are PIC files?
The PIC file format was first associated with PC Paint and later on with its developed version, Pictor Paint. It was one of the first formats accepted as a standard under the DOS platform, and it was developed by John Bridges. PIC files represent raster images, which can use an up to 24-bit color range. The advanced versions of PC Paint and Pictor Paint support image compression and the PIC files created using these programs are device-independent.
