ReeferJon,

Where do you buy UK charts in S63 format? I'd be interested in trying them. It appears that official site for the hydrographic office does not seem to have an actual way to buy charts.

Thanks, I am aware of these links

I am specifically looking for a way to buy UK admiralty ENC charts from UK admiralty service (or one of their direct distributors).

Well, here it is - PolarView 0.5 is out. This is our first "Beta" (though designation is largely formal).

A main feature available in this version is support for S63 charts. This adds world-wide chart coverage, available from all major hydrographic organizations. Retail charts are primarily available through www.chartworld.com though other services exist.

Also added day/night color scheme and significantly cleaned up resource use.

Of course due to the way S63 protection works, charts are coded to specific product installation unless other arrangements are made with data service or product manufacturer.

For the lack of Linux sailing forum (that I know of anyway), I'll post it here - PolarView 0.5 for Linux is now available.

(And now I will get it from the supporters of all operating systems at once *ducks* )
