I clicked the URL given above, scaled and dragged the displayed
Florida chart to the Gulf coast, and printed a chart.

Any real good reason not to get the BSB charts free from the feds
where you can also get the latest updates?

Just asking

No argument there.
Those charts on a lap top would be worth taking the lap top to sea.

But I can't figure out the why of it not finding the files...

The library computer worked fine for downloading these files.

But the PDF format?
I dunno.

All the pdf viewers seem pretty clunky compared to image viewer
programs (ACDSEE, for instance).

Take a look at Google Earth for an example of how well a map program
could work.

My .02. YMMV
