Fred, the old saying “you get what you pay for” probably applies even more so
to charts such as these. Thanks for letting me know.

Lloyd — thanks for the nice words; and +1 on Dennis’ suggestion. I’ve
purchased and used the Chartkit Region 9 for the Bahamas, and they’re a little
pricey but really nice to use.

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.

Hello Listers. Thanks to so many of you for your help over the last few
years and especially Fred Street for his excellant guidance on my new
electronics and more. I am close to departing the Texas coast for the Florida
Keys and eastward onto the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
I have downloaded and printed NOAA charts from Texas to Florida but am
looking to add paper chart books eastward and would appreciate any
recommendations in that regard.
Sincerely,
