What do you want to see on game mats?

Anyone think of using modern nautical charts? They show the depth as you get near the shore, where the sandbars. shallows and underwater obstructions are and all kinds of neat stuff. There are now nautical charts for any scale that you can print out on a map plotter. A 1:1000 chart of, say, Aboukir Bay would hog a mess of room but if you scale the chart to movement cards so the ships travel the right amount of distance per turn, the scale would probably be around 1:4000.

Odd for an avid collector of all the official releases, but this time I'm quite happy with my generic blue cloth, and just add the official extras when I need them, although Ken's idea of Nautical charts does appeal.
