I just compared costs for South America and the Pacific, and the Navionics Gold chips are a fraction of the price of the same Navionics S-57/S-63 charts downloaded from Chartworld. They're also cheaper than C-maps (whose reader I have yet to get working with Parallels). The cost savings would almost pay for a new Navionics compatible radar/plotter.

Have you noticed that folios from Chartworld are much cheaper than the charts payed per unit?

One chart costs about 150 Euro, if you have 25 charts (North Sea & Atlantic) at 150 Euro each it's rather expensive. But the complete Folio of the same region (Zone 2) costs only 1250 Euro.

Folios are all the same price.

It's still a lot of money.
