Hi
it's great to have free ENC charts in Europe too.
I tried the Dutch charts and noticed that they are missing crucial data.
The S63 ENC charts I bought from Chartworld for the Netherlands do shows all important informations in MacENC like depth (dark blue 1-2 m). These data is completely missing on the free ENC S57 charts. Buoys are shown correctly but other items are missing. It seems that buildings and streets or landroads are shown correctly too.
But as it looks these charts aren't usable.
Or do I have missed something in MacENC to import these charts?
I also noticed on the parent page that shows the link to the free charts is called "Demodata" as can be seen here:

Manou
