I use raster equivalents of the Small Craft NOAA charts on my
sailboat. The chart data base display shows thw chart book number
but does not show Page A or B etc and I would like to add the
appropriate page letters so as to know which chart to select.
I seem to remember I asked this question some years (and many
computers) ago and someone suggested a Hex editor that did the job
as long as the number of characters on the title line was not
changed. I downloaded "GroovyHex" editor but cannot see how to use
it for this purpose.

Raster charts can be edited ad infinitum in Paintshop Pro or any
other graphics package.



I realize that I can edit the chart in a graphics package but then I
would have to re-digitize the edited chart in the .kap format that the
navigation software can access.

Some nav. software, such as Oziexplorer, will allow you to overprint
anything at all, using the programme itself.


I just found to my surprise that Notepad will work at least on the chart
I tried but maybe it won't work on a larger chart file.
