Be aware that a number of Maptech products, including their online server,
CANNOT be used for navigation purposes. Woah Nelly! I downloaded Maptech's Outdoor Navigator demo and got on the server to download many charts. There was nothing warning me that they CANNOT be used for navigation. There was a warning that told me it should not be used as the sole source of navigation information. Of course you shouldn't rely on any one thing. Maptech has an exclusive agreement with NOAA. They are the only ones who get the masters from NOAA. No one else does this. Everyone else just rescans hardcopy charts. There is a large difference in quality. I've tried them all and I wouldn't trust my boat to anything other than Maptech charts. If you like SoftCharts....by all means, use them. I just hope that our paths never cross 'cause you're gonna be off course! |
