OK, to be sure, I've spent a Hell of a lot more time navigating boats than 
planes, (35 years).  I've done bunches of races to Hawaii, Tasmania, East 
Coast, West Coast, Australia, Mexico, all over the world and except for the 
time spent navigating the Intercoastal Waterway, I've never had a MAP on a 
boat.  They are CHARTS.  Just like what happens to a rope when you carry it 
on board, it becomes a line or like what happens to a lap when you stand up, 
a map on a boat is a chart.  When I instructed navigation classes, I told my 
students the same thing.  I did NOT want to hear the "M" word in class.  It 
meant they were lubbers.

So in flying, I keep hearing it interchangably.  To me, you get a chart at 
the FBO and a map at the gas station.  So what is it?  A map or a chart?
