Rose Point Coastal Explorer - Our Choice for the Great Loop

[Larry H]

For BC waters, Rose Point makes and sells both vector and raster charts for Coastal Explorer. They buy the data from Canada, and process it into the charts. The cost is about $100 per year for each kind of chart. That is an annual subscription, which allows the user to get updates, in the same way as the free US charts. After the year is up, you can keep the last updated charts and continue to use them, or renew your subscription. The Rose Point Canadian charts also include tide and current data. The charts are purchased from inside the CE program.
