Managing the Wateway - Electronic Charts will provide you with a tremendous library of official publications and charts for US waters, in a light-weight compact package!
In 2005, NOAA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began distributing raster and vector charts for free. There are also tens of thousands of pages of nautical reference material available free on the Web. However, collecting and maintaining a complete nautical e-library is extremely time consuming.
Whether you already own e-charting software and only need updated charts and reference materials, or you’re a newbie who wants free software and charts to test the e-charting waters, with this two-DVD set, you’re good to go!
- U.S. raster and vector Charts are cataloged and organized into popular cruising geographies.
- Chart files are standard BSB (raster) and S-57 (vector) charts provided by NOAA and the U.S. Army Corps and display in all computer-based navigation packages that support these formats.
- The Nautical Reference Library (updated annually) now includes just under $3000 and over one gigabyte of government publications, reference texts, and nautical calculators in searchable Adobe Acrobat PDF or HTML web browser format.
The set also contains free and trial software applications for both PC and Macintosh operating systems. 2010 edition.
