Somebody is home there, but the lights aren't on.

404 error on the raster scan charts.



Remove index.html and use
http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/Raster/ instead.

This will yield an info page where you can click the download RNC link
which will get you this:
http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/m..._agreement.htm

When you accept the terms you will then be treated to this:
http://ocsdata.ncd.noaa.gov/ChartSer...x.jsp?type=BSB

Then you will get this - a blank gray page unless you install the Java
Runtime enviroment that is linked he
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/index.html

and on it goes. A typical government runaround....

By the way, I forgot to say thank you for straightening out the link.
