Sažetak
History of nautical cartography can be traced on the basis of recent editions of the publication „Symbols and Abbreviations Used on Charts“. This paper examines all editions of that publication covering the area of Eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, from its first issue in 1929 published on one sheet, until these days when it has gone through 5 editions. Every new edition includes more and more symbols and abbreviations, and its contents are consistent with worldwide trends in nautical cartography. In this way, nautical charts like no other thematic charts have been standardized all over the world. Such standardization has been achieved as a result of recommendations of the International Hydrographic Organization, allowing for users simple reading and interpreting of any nautical chart. The paper also refers to IHO Symbols and Abbreviations for the production of electronic navigational charts and INT charts.
