Using US Army River Charts

journey on,

Chart programs that view ENC charts should have 'preferences', a place where you can check off what features (or layers) you want to show. An ENC chart is a collection of features such as location and type of bouys, other nav marks, and so on. A raster or paper chart has all the info in plain site as none can be hidden.

Check all the tabs, buttons, or menus on the chart program to see if you can get more info. Also, the 'help' menu might actually help. Teeth

You are right Dave, to do it right is is several months of poking around.

The main part after the 2 weeks I spend on the headwaters, was from Minneapolis to New Orleans.....We did it in 30 days. We hit the high spots.....saw alot..... but many more places that we wanted to explore, we blew right by.

Thats why we are starting to think about a rerun in 2011 on a more leisurely pace.

And we still want to do the trip up that you guys did up the Hudson and the Erie canal.
And there is the Missouri River
And the Arkansas, etc.
So many rivers...so little time.
