NOAA's electronic chart distribution, comments requested
I'm not sure this information hasn't been posted previously, but for those
of you that are yet unaware, NOAA is experimenting with making it's charts available to the public at no charge electronically.. Consider taking a look and making comments to NOAA accordingly.. .................................... Greetings Dr. Marino Thanks for your comments on NOAA's On-Line Chart Viewer. We really appreciate all the feedback. You might want to try another new product we're working on called the BookletCharts. After a period of open public comment, we'll decide whether to make them a full-scale NOAA product, in which case we'll do the entire suite. No date has been set. During the comment period, we're only keeping the BookletCharts up-to-date sporadically. The URL is www.NauticalCharts.gov/bookletcharts. Also, about 6 months ago we began distributing the Raster Navigational Charts and weekly electronic updates for free over the Internet. These are the raster charts we developed collaboratively with Maptech. They are in the popular .BSB format that is used by many electronic navigation software packages. The download trail begins at http://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/Raster/Index.htm. Try the on-line chart viewer at: www.NauticalCharts.gov/viewer |
