G,day Dutch Aussie...
The problem for us aussie sailors is that the hydrographic office (part of the Australian Navy) will only sell you Australian Raster Charts in Seafarer format and are only to be used with "authorised" software packages like endeavour (they use the old dongle method of authorisation). To get around this problem I have taken to scanning in my own charts and then using them in GPS Navx.
This can be a little time consuming but ... have been a Fan of the MAC since the lisa days and good to be able to take them sailing...

I have tested MAC ENC with the new ENC charts from the hydro office and these appear to work from the demo chart provide on the hydro office web site ... at this stage the only charts available are for the Great Barrier Reef
