: Not really. You download them to an inexpensive laptop or two, and display and/or print them with free or inexpensive software. As we used to say in New York, free is a very good price. My point being someone needs write CHARTING software that interfaces these free charts to PLOTTING, not just printing out..... I've printed them and HAVE been successful to use them with the Yeoman paper chart plotter board, however. Printing them big enough is a pain in the ass, though. Cap'n Geoffrey has Maptech books for where we cruise already preprogrammed for the Yeoman, so we use those. On the free charts, you have to put 3 cardinal lat/long points into the Yeoman puck along a right angle, then use those points to point the puck at and click to tell the Yeoman computer This is A, This is B, This is C....then it's calibrated to what you printed. You can store A,B and C and reuse them any time. |
