Official
NOAA Charts
|
|
|
In
the U.S., Maptech charts have the same
high level of detail as NOAA paper
charts. NOAA is the national
hydrographic office of the United
States and Maptech is the only company
that produces "NOAA
Certified" digital charts.
Outside the U.S., Maptech offers
digital charts in partnership with
leading hydrographic offices and
private cartographers around the
world.

Reviews

"Maptech has blown the doors off the nautical software
barn with an affordable new package."
- Dan Fales, Motor Boating
|
|
"I'm so crazy for Maptech's latest edition of their
electronic charts. It is so expanded and such a
value, that every navigator should have a look. If
you are already using digital charts, you'll
probably want to upgrade to get all the added
cartography and data. If you have so far passed on
digital charting as too dear or too complicated, you
may well find that package works for you."
- Ben Ellison, Maine Boats
& Harbors

"Let me start out by saying that I have tried other
similar products and have not been very happy with
the quality of charts and usability of the included
software. However, this Maptech product right out of
the box was top quality, easy to use and setup...It
was downright fun! This complete package from
Maptech gets Fish 4 Fun's highest recommendation and
believes any coastal navigator or fisherman would be
completely satisfied with its content and
functionality."
