Good news for those who sail in New Zealand waters. The entire collection of NZMariner charts (161 charts), which was previously available on CD very cheaply, is now available free of charge. The chart CD contents and also the monthly update CD contents can be downloaded here: http://www.hydro.linz.govt.nz/charts/ras.../index.asp
The forthcoming version of PassagePlus will allow you to install charts directly from the downloaded folder. The current version (v1.5.0) assumes that CDs will be used. So to take advantage of this price in the meantime you need to burn the downloaded files to CD. Just unzip the download and then drag all the CONTENTS of the folder (NOT the folder itself) to a blank CD and burn it.
