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! |

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 |

They are experimenting with that now at selected dealers. There is a
central server that the dealer can download charts from and print them out on a special wide format printer with waterproof ink. That has a lot of advantages for the dealer because he does not need to keep inventory and for us because it makes the charts a lot more current. It does not however mean we will be paying much less for the charts. Steve wrote: Now, how about releasing the high resolution .tif files of the chart scans...

I'm coping and printing DMA charts at a local print/copy shop on a large
format scanner for $4 a chart. Admittedly, it's in B/W and not waterproof but I'm only going to use these chart copies for one season and that will only be for back up to the Laptop.. The nice thing with this scanner printer system, is I can request the .tif files from each chart scan, for use with Fugawi or etc. My point, again, the chart data base is public domain or should be Anyone should have access to it.. But I suspect that this is a 'sweet heart' deal to encourage the chart agents to invest in the equipment. Steve s/v Good Intentions |

For original quality paper charts I can see $10-12 each because the
dealer still has to amortize a $15K+ printer/computer setup, the high quality heavy bond and the operator time. The real ripoff is with the electronic charts. Those guys are just selling us something we have already paid for. Steve wrote: I'm coping and printing DMA charts at a local print/copy shop on a large format scanner for $4 a chart.

Thanks for the pointers!
I did a little hunting around because Fugawi's only runs on NT, 2000 and XP, for some reason yet to be discovered, probably related to reporting in background. That's usually the reason, now. I found a program for the rest of us called SeeMyDEnc from www.sevencs.com in Hamburg, Germany. It hasn't asked for money, yet, but may be shareware. It runs under Win95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and Linux, which is nice. My system is Win98SE, because I don't like copy protected XP saying NO BOOT if I change hardware. I'm downloading all 196MB of the chart data, now, so I'll test SeeMyDEnc and see how it works. There are a couple of other ENC freeware programs I saw in my search, too, that didn't require networking and sharing to boot. On 07 Mar 2004 07:36:24 GMT, (Gould 0738) wrote: Surely you jest.......

Funny thing is I checked the available charts of the gulf coast of
florida and they are marked up with survey data. viewed on free viewer but can't find them in my files with Capt'n. Format is only viewable with programs licensed to view. Still have to find detailed electronic charts of the gulf coast for capt'n, as the free charts won't work for me. I refuse to upgrade from 98se to xp just to look at charts. after all I did upgrade windows 3.1 to 98 to have tide charts work. I still prefer the paper charts in old chartbook form for actual navigation, I still don't trust pc not crash while underway;) Dave |

I've been looking at ENC charts using Caris Easy ENC 3.0 from www.caris.com. BTW, I was a bit leery of the WinXP hardware change issue when my motherboard failed recently. I put in a new mother board, processor, and video card and retained the old network card and hard disk (which I backed up, then reformatted to the NT file system. WinXP booted and re-installed without problems. Apparently the hardware examination process gives a very high weight to the network card. Mark Borgerson |
