Hi

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

What software can be used to display these charts?

Tells you on the NOAA web site.

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

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.
