Mapping Resource - Nautical Charts

Figured this resourced deserved a write up in this forum. I stumbled across it accidentally and have found it quite useful for navigation. Also for exploring and figuring out possible fishing spots, and lots of other uses. The website is:

From there you go to the chart viewer and get to planning. I use it extensively for the Chesapeake bay and also for panning around local Fayetteville looking for access to ponds and other locations.

Some features include:

> Build routes - Shows coordinates, distances in PDF format

> Show all navigation aids

> Shows boat ramp locations

> Hybrid charts overlaying contour data with satellite image

Love messing around on there when its slow as hell at work so I can daydream about the fish waiting to be caught!
