Free Online Charts

[Beefer]

Not sure where to put this, but...

NOAA just added a free chart printing service that allows you to print out chart 'booklets'.

The 2nd link is a chart viewer that allows you view large charts online, with great image quality.

These are Great Links. I might HAVE to get a new hard drive and spend some time down loading before the government realizes we're getting something useful for free. Course I know that these get updated on a regular basis.
Really is a cool link. Thanks

This looks like something good, just have to get time to play with it and see what really happens.

It is not free, we all pay for these services with taxes.

Now if they would just update some of the missing waterways, in the often forgotten middle part of the U.S.

Re: Free Online Charts

Maybe not free but at least you won't have to buy them twice, once on tax dollars and once out of pocket after tax dollars.

Use your browser's print button, or go to file>print.

When you go to the first link posted, they pull up in Acrobat Reader, just click the printer icon in the upper left of the screen and go from there. Also, if your printer will do two sided print set it up that way and you will print on both sides of the paper.

Not much for me either. They have lake Huron which includes Georgian Bay where I boat but the scale is much to large.

Oh well, still very cool for those that can use it.
