There is a yahoo group for those wanting to do this. Its pretty
tedius. I guess you have to consider that's what you are paying for

You could apply the same faulty logic to all maps and charts. The
product that you are paying for has value added by the third party to
make it suitable for your purposes. You ca probably get all the raw
