For the purpose of this template, CADRG/ECRG products can be categorized into two types, Standard and Miscellaneous. The processes you use to build mosaic datasets varies depending on the type of CADRG/ECRG; these differences are noted in the workflows:

• Standard - CADRG/ECRG products that are the most frequently used, serve the widest audience, have the greatest geographic coverage, generally cover the same geographic area across products, and have thematic content from global scale down to regional/city scales. These characteristics make "standard" CADRG/ECRG products a good source for creating a global basemap. "Standard" products include:
  • Global Navigation Charts
  • Jet Navigation Charts
  • Joint Operations Graphics
  • Operational Navigation Charts
  • Tactical Pilotage Charts
  • Topographic Line Maps
  • ... and all City Graphics products


• Miscellaneous - CADRG/ECRG products that have more specialized uses and typically cover smaller geographic areas than the "standard" products. Some less frequently used products, which do cover large geographic areas; are included in this category because they have the same map scale as one of the "standard" products and are easier to work with when stored in a separate mosaic dataset. These characteristics do not make "miscellaneous" CADRG/ECRG products a good source for creating a global basemap, but rather serve as a supplement to the cached image service created from the "standard" CADRG/ECRG products. "Miscellaneous" products include, but are not limited to:
  • Combat Charts
  • Military Installation Maps
  • Riverine Maps
  • ... and Miscellaneous Maps and Charts
