I have three chart readers: Fugawi View, Caris Easy-ENC, and Seven
Seas Seemydenc.

I am only able to get Fugawi View to work. I suspect that the other
two programs are more capable, but I can't figure them out.

Caris Easy-ENC is anything but and gives me an error that the S-57
type files (extension .000) are incorrect.

The Seven Seas Seemydenc program will load a chart but seems to have
no easy controls to move around on the chart. Maybe I am missing
something here.

Does anyone have a complete explaination (maybe step-by-step) on how
to use these programs?

Unfortunately I do not. I have only tried "Seemydenc" at this point,
and at best I would rate it as a "work in progress". There are ways
to move around and zoom in/out but it takes effort to find it, and I
don't recall the specifics at the moment.

What we need, of course, is a fuly functioning navigations suite with
the same look and feel as the better packages currently available.
That would be worth paying for in my opinion if the charts continue to
be free.
