A '''Chartplotter''' is a device used in marine [[navigation]] that integrates [[GPS]] data with an [[Electronic navigational chart| electronic navigational chart (ENC)]].

The chartplotter displays the ENC along with the position, heading and speed of the ship, and may display additional information from [[radar]], [[Automatic Identification System|automatic information systems (AIS)]] or other sensors.

As appropriate to particular marine applications, chartplotters may also display data from other sensors, such as echolocators/[[sonar]].
