# Create Chart

`POST /my/ships/{shipSymbol}/chart`

Command a ship to chart the waypoint at its current location.

Most waypoints in the universe are uncharted by default. These waypoints have their traits hidden until they have been charted by a ship.

Charting a waypoint will record your agent as the one who created the chart, and all other agents would also be able to see the waypoint's traits. Charting a waypoint gives you a one time reward of credits based on the rarity of the waypoint's traits.
