Title: Free NOAA BSB Raster Charts
#1
http://www.freeboatingcharts.com/

You will need Virtual PC to run the self extracting exe sent in an email from Maptech to retrieve the charts. Also need to create a free account at Maptech.

I plan to offer a Mac compatible DVD with these regions..

Region 02 - Block Island RI to Canadian Border
Region 03 - New York to Nantucket and Cape May, NJ
Region 04 - Chesapeake and Delaware Bays
Region 06 - Norfolk VA to Florida including the ICW
Region 07 - Florida East Coast and the Keys
Region 08 - Florida West Coast and the Keys
Region 10 - Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands
Region 12 - Southern California Pt Arena to Mexico
Region 14 - San Francisco to Cape Flattery
Region 15 - Pacific Northwest
Region 17 - Mobile AL to Mexican Border

Pricing will be just enough to cover my costs (manufacturing and shipping). TBD.

In addition to Maptech, now NOAA has the same raster charts (RNC's) available at no cost..

These can be unzipped with StuffIt Expander, although the file paths seem MS-DOS/Windows centric. They open fine in GPSNavX and MacENC
