Web site with ICW charts to view?
Surely you jest.......
Just because your taxes paid for the damned charts, cartography that drew them and all the research that went into them....that doesn't mean you actually can USE or download them without paying some 3rd party who's bribed your government for exclusive rights to them...... Dammit all....Someone should hang! Larry W4CSC POWER is our friend! Good news, Larry NOAA has released electronic charts, free. Here's the secret handshake: http://chartmaker.ncd.noaa.gov/mcd/enc/index.htm These are ENC format charts, and they require a "viewer". A viewer can be downloaded, free, at www.fugawi.com/viewenc/viewenc.html |

Web site with ICW charts to view?
Now, how about releasing the high resolution .tif files of the chart
scans... With the, now, reasonable cost of scanner/reproduciton costs at copy shops, we could download and print our own charts.. Oh! I think I hear that they are going to do that but we will have to go to a licensed chart agent to print them out.. Sounds like another under the table arrangement between NOAA and a group of chart agents. The always skeptical, Steve s/v Good Intentions |
