Peter,

Where did you get your copy of C-Map? Is it CMAPECS?

Is there a problem with you pointing your BitTorrent client to:

I seem to rember someone (Roger Long perhaps?) asking when Garmin will
produce an update of its charts for North America. I've just noticed
a new version is out now:

MapSource Product: BlueChart AMR v9 CD ROM
Update Version: 9.00
Date Available: Jan 1, 2007
Ship Date: Feb 19, 2007
Update Details: Now with new coverage of Newfoundland, Labrador and
Hudson Bay.
Updated Notice to Mariners.

Thanks for that Ken...
I was just in talking to Steve at the Binnacle last week complaining that
I'd have to buy two 'unlock codes' to cover the South Shore (Lunenburg to
Halifax)
and Halifax up to cape Breton (including Bras d'Or lakes)
Looks like codes CA004 and CA005 overlap. If CA005 actually covers from
Mahone Bay to Cape Breton.... I just may see a new Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx in
my future to replace my Magellan 315.

BF Please be very careful. I consider your recommendation very dangerous.
The minute you reproduce that chart you induce distortion and inacuracies.
The product will no longer be certified and in fact could be very unsafe to
use.

Check with your local print shop that specializes in large format prints
(blueprints). Some have large format scanners that will create a raster
image that you should be able to import into your software.
No idea the cost but would expect it to be less than $39.

This group has helped me before and I can't understand what the deal
is with digital charts, whether raster or enc. I can go into any
local map shop, chandlery, marine supply place and buy any nautical
paper chart that was produced by the Australian Hydrographic Office
for $29 bucks. The US has totally free downloadable digital charts
(both raster and ENC) for all US coasts and territories because the US
taxpayer has already paid for the production of these charts.

I would be quite happy to pay $29 for the digital equivalent of a
paper chart. I have navigation software that reads digital charts.
But if I want, say AUS 154 (Williamstown) in digital format I would
have to pay for a (redundant) viewer and then the chart(s); somewhat
more tha $29.

Don't figure

Cheers, Jim

Not at all -- now that I know where to aim :-)
