Embeddable Nautical Charts

How difficult would it be to make a nautical chart viewer embeddable like you we have for Vimeo and Youtube? Earth NC will generate embed code for you so say I could have posted a chart of Patos Is. I usually post a link to the map but an embedded map would contribute to the discussion when discussing new or unusual dive sites.

I have taken screen shots of the NOAA chart viewer in the past, drawn on it in MSpaint, and finally uploaded it to photobucket. Its alot of work and apart from a few fellow boat oriented divers seems to be underutilized info. Those of us with boats generally know where/how to look. If it were easy breezy I would do it more just to elevate the general discussion beyond Sounder's "crop dusting".

Cool, I just can't seem to get the full embed to work until I manually cut out the frame size from the code it generates. Other than that it works fine and I am off to edit my post in the Patos Is. thread.


The full embed code I started with was

Code: Select all

 <iframe src="http://earthnc.com/chartviewer/?em=1&ll=48.76954107968578,-122.84706115722656&z=12&chart=onechart" width="100%" height="600px"></iframe>

Code: Select all

[iframe]http://earthnc.com/chartviewer/?em=1&ll=48.76954107968578,-122.84706115722656&z=12&chart=onechart" width="100%" height="600px"[/iframe]

doesn't work but

Code: Select all

[iframe]http://earthnc.com/chartviewer/?em=1&ll=48.76954107968578,-122.84706115722656&z=12&chart=onechart[/iframe]

does work.
I guess it would have been easier to start out with their link function which generates

Code: Select all

 http://earthnc.com/chartviewer/?ll=48.76954107968578,-122.84706115722656&z=12&chart=onechart 
without me doing any work but embeds scroll bars with the chart.

I hope you didn't work too hard on that one. It didn't occur to me to just paste the code in.
nah, took 2 minutes. but you couldn't paste the code in without the tag.
