Explorer Chartbook - North Man O’ War Channel Coordinates

Folks,

I normally find that the Explorer Charts books and my other charts (primarily Garmin) are pretty much in agreement with major waypoints. However, for the North Man O’ War channel the coordinates are very much in disagreement, with the explorer charts showing a transit that would take you well over exposed reef as plotted on the Garmin chart.

Anyone use the recent explorer waypoints for this channel?

These are the explorer waypoints.

We just went through using the Explorer Charts with TimeZero and the Garmin Bluecharts both open and a great sunny day with good vis and they are right on. They are also the same on my iPad as Garmin is using the Explorer data. Not sure why your Garmin is different but it could be older chart data. I would trust the Explorer.

If coming from the south that deeper water on the south side of the line is real. You can cut the corner a bit. You can see the breakers on the reef.

I just updated the charts on the plotter with 2018 charts.

Probably the plotter charts are not the same as the ipad charts. Either way the Explorer waypoints are spot on.

Went through the Cut twice this past winter and the Garmin tracks are right on. Also for South Man O War Cut also, but it is narrower, but still no problem with the preferred route on my Garmin 545S.
