New Links and Tools

Post by H2Oz »

https://sites.google.com/site/nauticalfree/#US:NGA

This is an amazingly comprehensive collection of links. Just one of the toys it will lead you to:

http://earthnc.com/online-nautical-charts
This ain't yo' daddy's charts. Play around with the online viewer. Icons at upper left of map/sat will activate various layers. For example, zoom in, click the little "ramp" layer, and a click on any ramp symbols that pop up will give you latlongs and ramp info. Click the little "fish" icon, and get wrecks and platforms (including inshore). Integrated GPS, real-time weather integration, offline charts, full Google Earth integration, yada-yada-yada.

That first link has some pretty cool downloadable weather tools, calculators, etc., for your nautical "library", too. And the page scrolls for days. If you want to go worldwide, just redact the URL to end at nauticalfree/. Then it gets really crazy.

Enjoy.
