OK, I tried Chartworld. I actually downloaded their Chartbrowser and ran it in Virtual PC. It's much more user friendly, but slow as a dog in vPC. Anyway, there weren't any S-57/S-63s to be found covering the broad oceans, whether 'official', Navionics, or otherwise. They only exist in Paper or ARCS. I also went to the ic-enc and Primar/Stavanger sites and confirmed there. Since these appear to be generated country-by-country no country has apparently taken on themselves to create the large scale oceaning charts, similar to what C-Map has done. Hopefully the Brits will eventually convert their raster versions to enc. Until then looks like we're out of luck, unless someone has some other ideas.
