Thanks. I'll probably wait until I get a boat though. Well, maybe
I'll download the Florida charts since I'll be there soon looking at
boats. What chart viewer do you recommend?


I use Maptech Offshore Navigator, mostly because I've been using it a
long time, all the way back to 386/486 DOS machines. Unfortunately
it is not free, and may not even be available anymore although Maptech
has done a good job with updates.

I believe there is a free viewer call Seaclear or something like that.
There is also a product called Fugawi that some people like. I
believe it is reasonably priced and has a free demo version.


Thanks, Wayne.
