Default download all the charts you want FREE, save as a .GPX

Any real good reason not to get the BSB charts free from the feds
where you can also get the latest updates?

Just asking

No argument there.
Those charts on a lap top would be worth taking the lap top to sea.

But I can't figure out the why of it not finding the files...

Just thought the PDFs were nice... other than that, no reason I can think
of...



The library computer worked fine for downloading these files.

But the PDF format?
I dunno.

All the pdf viewers seem pretty clunky compared to image viewer
programs (ACDSEE, for instance).

Take a look at Google Earth for an example of how well a map program
could work.

My .02. YMMV
