Narrative:

San francisco ramp tower (127.57) instructed our flight to taxi to spot #1 and contact ground control. Commercial (nov/xa/00) shows spot #1 being at the juncture of taxiway H and taxiway a. Spot #1 is not there, the commercial chart is inaccurate. Commercial chart shows spot #1 and spot #2 being co-located at the juncture of taxiway H and taxiway a. In fact only spot #2 is located at the juncture of taxiway H and taxiway a. I believe, spot #1 is in reality located at the juncture of taxiway M and taxiway a -- not taxiway H and taxiway a as it is depicted on commercial chart. I reported this to sfo ramp tower via radio dec/xa/00, as well as notifying my company.
