A graphics company, the kind that do the modern equivalent of
blueprints, can scan full size drawings into .tiff or .jpg files.

The cost is between $1 and $2 per square foot. Roughly $20 per chart I
guess.

Then there are a number of software packages that can put georeferences
on them. I have used Fugawi.

In fact I have downloaded Google Earth images and put them into Fugawi
and driven around with them. I could almost back into my parking lot at
work with it.

I did the same thing down in Belize. I scanned the map on a small
scanner, georeference the files and Fugawi

I have the Canadian Paper charts for the Canadian Gulf Islands.

Is there a way to have some of these charts scanned and converted to
electronic raster charts?

I don't really want to spend all the $$$ to buy the entire Vancouver island
set since all I need is just a few of the charts.

Any ideas/recommendation?
