Default Canadian charts - electronic

It would give me a warmer feeling if these charts could be validated
before using them. The notices to Mariner should be checked against the
charts. Older charts can be usable if you know where you stand with them.
Either way before going on a trip Its a good thing to verify all the
notices and to re-enforce them with the local knowledge. Going to
Newfoundland by sailboat requires plotting the locations and movement of
icebergs.

Hi,

Just bought some charts off ebay for Newfoundland.

I went to ebay and searched for "chart newfoundland" and found this
fellow who sold me disks for $25. Also included Sea Clear, which is a
free download in any case, but is convenient to have in one place.

Just passing it on.

Would not give me a warm fuzzy feeling at all. A few years ago there was a
P2P network that ended up with a bunch of random charts on it with the
geo-referencing files altered to give a wrong position. The site no longer
exists.
