Gordon,

1. I downloaded the NOAA maps and installed them - the files show up with
the file suffixes of .KAP and .BSP


The .KAP/.BSB charts are the "normal" vector format charts used by
most marine chart programs used by pleasure boaters.

There is a free program called "SeaClear" that will display these,
available through my GPS/NMEA website listed below.
