Are international charts available for this program? If so, in what
form are they?


Here's a source of international charts in digital format:

Be warned that many international charts are based on very old surveys
that aren't terribly accurate.



Gee, you mean that my copy of the chart marked "Based on survey by HMS
Beagle, 1793" might be out of date?

Cheers,
