Default Google Ocean Charts in the palm of your hand....

Larry,
You make this stuff sound wonderful, but in fact it scares the hell
out of me. Navigation using uncertified charts? Since when is this
progress? Sounds like stupidity to me. Close your eyes and imagine the
court ruling in an accident liability case when you tell the court you
were using uncertified charts from the internet after causing massive
property damage and or loss of life.

The charts are REAL NOAA CERTIFIED CHARTS, just like you pay out the ass
for old ones at Waste Marine......SAME CHARTS ONLY UP-TO-DATE! Is that
loud enough to get through to you?

The NOAA Charts on Ocean Google are those new charts! You can access them
from any browser over an aircard on your laptop NOW if you have internet
cellular service.

These are only good in the USA, not Germany.
