Portuguese term or phrase: cartas-padrão
"Os mapas-múndi de PierreDesceliers (1487-c.1553) documentam um momento de transformação da cultura visual relacionada ao Novo Mundo na Europa Quinhentista. As informações para confecção desses dois mapas desenhados e ricamente iluminados em pergaminho pelo famoso padre e piloto-mor de Dieppe - em 1546 e 1550 – foram extraídas dos roteiros náuticos, das ***cartas-padrão*** portuguesas, das gazetas manuscritas, dos relatos de viajantes e correspondências manuscritas de mercadores que frequentavam a costa litorânea sul-americana nas primeiras décadas do século XVI."

It's to UK English. Thanks for your help!

  -> Hi Sue. Charts are any graphic representations, which includes nautical charts indeed. But the term nautical chart is more specific. Try googling the word chart, and see what comes up. All the best!
