I haven't seen the actual test set before, only the write up prior to the release. Thanks fgd3 for spotting the release.

I think this test is quite valuable for the development of O.
Now we know how the latest standard is supposed to work.

Thanks bcn !!!

W or E are always the traps when you are being examined

Points I learnt here:

- we don't comply with the latest S-52 definitions as Thomas stated already

- and an interesting project:
Check 4 – Detection of objects by route checking in voyage planning

That's been in Tracker since 2010 (FS224--also see FS242 for a related item).

IHO actually mentions two test data sets. One is shown and discussed above, the other (much more comprehensive, but older) can be found at IHO's S-64 page as Unencrypted ENC Test Data Set (4.5 MB). I think some of the checks there may be relevant.

Specifically, I turned to this test set when examining how updates to S-57 charts are handled (.001, .002...). This was the only place I could find any test data.
