RE: [Electric Boats] Chart software

 

Hi

I use Seaclear which is an excellent freeware chart plotter. You can
download and calibrate free NOAA charts, Hydro. LINZ, in New Zealand using
the mapcal utility which comes with it. You can also use any scanned
Mercator or transverse Mercator projection map or chart.

I work on commercial ships and use seaclear on my laptop. The big advantage
to me is you can treat the charts like paper charts and update whenever you
like. Most commercial chartplotters update yearly at best.

A while back someone had a program to make usable charts from google earth.
Did it come from here? I want to see if I can make usable charts from the
150 pdf charts I just downloaded of the lower Mississippi.
