What are Nautical Charts?
You'll be introduced to the auto-sail system as part of the main quest, but what's not explained is that you can buy charts that expand the list of locations you can auto-sail to and from.

They cost from 10-20k each at bookstores, item stores, or black markets.

Your ship moves around twice as fast while being auto-sailed, which is hugely useful! It also makes moving around the world easier as you can simply set a destination and let your ship fast-forward there rather than having to steer yourself.

Note that once you've bought a chart you also need to go into your bag and use it. You can find the Nautical Charts you've already unlocked in the knowledge tab of the menu.

Several/many charts can also be traded off certain named fleets. I wish I could be more specific, but I don't remember.
