Title: Printing NOAA charts at home
#6
Have not used this but it looks promising, for USA only.
http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/staff...Chart.html

Works only for BSB format charts.

I use Coastal Explorer on an XP netbook these days (old bad habit) and the print function is great when it works and does not crash the app.

Being able to print selected parts of a chart is important to me. ...... e.g. recent delivery Brasil to Trinidad I had digital (Brasil free raster on netbook and rented navonicson iNavX on iPhone) and paper (Bellingham Charts 2/3 size B&W). The approach and entry to Chaguaramas in NW Trinidad is very straight forward but I wanted some paper copy to back up the several digital options. I this case I had an old small scale digital that I printed a portion using CE's print function and I also printed some google earth screens with grid turned on. The google earth was good for having an overview of continental shelf and sea mount locations.
