Lloyd, I have the MapTech Chartkit for my region and really, really like it. They aren't cheap but having all the large and smaller scale charts in one easy to use package is great. The different scale charts are very handy for vessels making coastal passages and then moving to ICW or inland waters. You can look at the big picture on a small scale chart then switch to a large scale chart when you enter a port or harbor.
Even though I've made the transit dozens of times, I keep the chartkit on the dining table for quick reference. After a looong hiatus, Maptech just came out with the 4th edition of the Region 16 New Orleans to Panama City chartkit. I didn't waste any time buying a copy. My old spare 3rd editions are still valuable. I've sold one already and have one on eBay. I have yet another. You may consider grabbing used, older editions for the regions you need from eBay. There will be differences between editions. I've noticed some in my area. For instance, the Marianne Channel near Cat Island in Mississippi Sound has been renumbered. Some shoals may have moved slightly but not much. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Tue, Apr 21, 2015 at 12:37 PM, LKL via CnC-List <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Hello Listers.
