I have found it extremely useful in planning trip routes and determining distances. The also have available ramps, marinas, and bridges, etc. It shows wrecks/ other stuctures and weather. P.S. It is free. Chris Doerner 1980 Outrage 22, 1999 Mercury Optimax 200

I just like the feel of the NOAA charts. Edit: Just checked out EarthNC.com. I like it, thanks for that one. Edited by Swamp on 05/07/12 - 7:44 AM

Though pulling of a Gulliver here would practically be impossible, it would still be nice to do just that. And that would be something that would be important to get to the parts where there is a great need to maintain distance on whale spots.
