Hi Folks,
Thanks for the Info on printable charts. This is one of the reasons the C-Dory Internet Site is great.

[quote="NORO LIM"]The NOAA BookletChart is a great idea, but it appears to be definitely "experimental" at this stage. My first pick was the Wrangel Narrows package, the index page for which was a chart of the Chesapeake Bay area!
See:
http://ocsdata.ncd.noaa.gov/BookletChart/17375_BookletChart_HomeEd.pdf[/quote]
I sent NOAA a note when I found this. They replied immediately and fixed the glitch. They really do want to hear from users. _________________ Bill, Formerly on NORO LIM

|
|
Be aware these charts are polyconic projections, instead of the usual mercator traditionally used for charts. This means you can't calculate course headings using simple dividers and parallel rules. I find this very annoying. |

When I want a localized chart to give someone I use AnalgX-Capture (Free) to do a screen dump of Captn's from my computer and print it. Saves ink by only printing what I want. Jack |

I’ll have to try this AnalgX-Capture, wonder if it works with PDF files.
Thanks for the tip,

10-04 Jay,
Capture will save a (BMP) screen dump to where ever you tell it and you can proceed from there. I use PhotoShop for cropping and printing. Jack |

For local charts, it should make little difference that these charts are polyconic. Inland lake and river charts are done in polyconic projection anyway. If you are going great distances, then it certainly may make a difference, but usually one plots the great circle route for that type of travel anyway. _________________ Bob Austin
