Might want to look at Coastal Explorer unless you're looking for a
freebie. Then look at fugawi.

Hi

I've found the USA free to download charts on the NOAA web site.

What software can be used to display these charts?



hmmm...Fugawi is not a freebie...it's $199. per their website
http://www.fugawi.com/docs/navframe.html

Gordon,

1. I downloaded the NOAA maps and installed them - the files show up with
the file suffixes of .KAP and .BSP

2. I downloaded and installed SeeMyEnc - it requires files of the following
3 types, SENC, S-57 or DNC Tiles

3. SeeMyEnc will not import or open the .KAP or .BSP files

What am I doing wrong - if anything???

The .KAP/.BSB charts are the "normal" vector format charts used by
most marine chart programs used by pleasure boaters.

There is a free program called "SeaClear" that will display these,
available through my GPS/NMEA website listed below.
