Narrative:
Both the commercially provided and FAA taxi diagrams for the airport are extremely inaccurate. Taxiways are depicted on the wrong side of the runway; are unlabeled or are missing altogether. For example there is no taxiway south of runway 6/24; but there is a taxiway a that extends north of 6/24 and intersects both runways. There were no D/fdc NOTAMS regarding taxiways or changes to the airport configuration. There was no disruption to the flight; but I believe this could pose a safety hazard for future operations at vdi.the airport diagrams should be changed to accurately reflect the layout of vdi.
