Morphology

rechart = chart (transparent) = re + chart

This is regular prefixation in which 're-' adds the meaning 'again' or 'anew' to 'chart'.

Etymology

Rechart comes from re- 'again' and chart 'a map'. If a river or coastline changes, people must 'map it again', so to rechart is to create a new chart or map of a place.
