Very practical and very useful, especially in the off season. It can also be done for free on a home PC, and very inexpensively on a boat. All of the US charts can be downloaded at no cost on the NOAA site: http://www.charts.noaa.gov/ Tim, you will need the S-57 ENC charts for the inland rivers. A very capable software charting program is available for free he http://opencpn.org/drupal/download All you need to turn that combo into an inexpensive chartplotter for a boat is a $30 USB GPS device, a laptop computer and an inexpensive power inverter. http://www.amazon.com/USGlobalSat-BU-353-WaterProof-Enabled-Receiver/dp/B000V5TV22 http://www.amazon.com/Power-Bright-PW400-12-Inverter-Watt/dp/B000OOZY5S Unfortunately our Canadian friends still have to pay for their electronic charts. |
