The chart includes a specific Decca lattice overlays, showing Decca Navigation Lines (Lattice), a set of hyperbolic lines, which correspond to the signals received from the Decca Navigator transmitters, helping mariners plot their position more accurately at sea.

These charts are historically significant, reflecting a transitional phase in maritime navigation technology.
