[...] A friend of mine
emailed me a link to an electronic cruising guide, it looks like they
are just getting started. I like the idea of the current info and the
way I can fly my route with Google Earth, so I thought I would let the
group know... myboatersguide dot com
myboatersguide doesn't seems to be new: Copyright 2004-2006

I agree, that GoogleEarth is a great tool. If you are looking for a
similar plattform with GoogleEarth-support - but not commerical - take
a look on http://skipperguide.com.

In fact, I prefer my contributions are open source. I don't like the
idea to help others to make money with them.

Regards,
