What if any chart software can be obtained at no or lower cost than
the Garmin proprietary "Blue Chart" CD that can be downloaded to the
Garmin 78CS GPS?

We thought we remembered someone once saying that there is such, but
aren't sure and so would like at least to know whether we should stop
trying to look and will be stuck with buying the Garmin software.

Thanx.

I recommend buying CD's and running your charting off
a laptop linked to a GPS.

There was a thread recently about scanning your own charts
if you want to do it cheaply.

That's what I do. It's great during a race.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Where you win fags, I mean flags.

I've got quite a collection now of CD charts including
the whole east coast from Maine down to the USVI,
Bermuda, and California.

In another few years I'll have the rest of the US and I'll
start collecting Canadian charts.

Do they do a lot of good at the dock?

A burning question for you I'm sure.
