No problem, Dwight. No offense taken or intended. Software, be it apps, charts, maps, music or videos and movies, seems to be a fair target for freely copying and distributing simply because it's possible. I'm a bit sensitive after some time on music recording anti-piracy committees. The amount of money we spend on electronic charts compared to their value on paper is miniscule and they are not cheap to produce or distribute. I don't mind paying.

Sorry Rich.bad choice of words, I assure you that I would never cheat. sounds like Garmin e charts are cheaper now but back when I bought that disk you didn't get much for your money.OTOH the Cmap card for my little Standard Horizon unit which I got before the Garmin blue charts gives a lot more coverage per dollar.got the Garmin blue charts for my handheld unit which is one of my backups.still carry a bundle of paper charts that together are so heavy I can hardly lift them anymore.no big rocks or shoals have relocated as far as I have noticed but many of the navigation aids have disappeared over the last few years.

I think that you are a wizard with electronics and stuff like that, is there any way I can cheat and install the charts from that cd on another GPS, and also is there a way without paying more to Garmin to gain access to more of the charts on the disc than just the ones I paid to load to my GPS from it.

I picked up a couple of blocks from Garhauer and a Garmin GPS 78 from (Radio World?). There was a Garmin rep with the electronics who assured me that my unused Bluechart Americas CD would work with the GPS 78, but an inspection of the Garmin web site seems to contradict this. Hard to tell, since Garmin has removed almost all refrence to the discontinued Bluecharts and offers no support whatsoever. More later when I figure it out. Tartan C&C has been at the Toronto show in the past, but they are in the process of recovering from a serious financial setback and a change of ownership. Someone posted a link here a few days ago to a newspaper article regarding their status. They are at the Cleveland boat show if I recall correctly. United has direct flights from Toronto, but you had better be prepared for a 2 mile walk to the furthest corner of the airport. I took a connecting flight through Cleveland in November, and that is a long walk if your luggage does not have wheels.

Those who live in the Toronto area anyway? I wish they would show a C&C or Tartan at the show but they only bring out the Catalinas, Hunters, Dufours etc. I made off with the customary boat hook and I got a great deal on the discontinued Raymarine ST40 Depth and Speed instruments. Boxing day deals got me a bluetooth kenwood stereo and infinity speakers for the cabin so I've got some gadget installation to do before launch... which I'm eagerly looking forward to. Spring is just around the corner! Any highlights? I went on a weeknight so I likely missed some stuff. Steve C&C 32 Toronto _____ No virus found in this message.
