We mentioned earlier we had ordered a set of British Admiralty electronic charts from Maptech. The price was US$150, and to be frank, we were dubious about what we would get for this modest cost. The folks at Maptech said it was the complete portfolio, but they did not have a list.

We loaded the BSB4 format charts last night and were pleasantly surprised to find what appears to be the complete BA portfolio, as promised. There are 757 charts covering England, Scotland, Ireland, and the islands to the North.

Scales as large as 1:12,500, like the image above of Saint Katherine's marina where we plan to have Wind Horse spend the next winter, are included.

We'll be testing several of the new charting programs on this trip and will report what we find.
