NOAA nautical charts are going all electronic

[60south]

For years I've used the on-line, numbered nautical charts NOAA produces. These are web versions of the exact same printed charts you can (or could) buy.

Now they are going to an electronic version that no longer separates the charts into individual sheets. It's not yet fully implemented in some areas. I like that you can select a symbol on the chart and it will give you information about it (I can never keep track of the meaning of all the different symbols). Also, the bathymetry detail increases as you zoom in on an area. Very cool.

Very cool! BTW: pnwdiving links to a very similar website that was mentioned on nwdiveclub a while back: i-boating.net. The data seems the same. The benefit of going thru the pnwdiving.com link is that it can zoom into any dive site you choose without the panning and zooming. Select your site from pnwdiving.com then select depth chart.
