I think you will find a difference in the cd charts. We use to use
Maptech, and their charts look exactly like the book charts. We had our laptops, and charts stolen from the
boat. Recently we bought Garmin's Explorer charts, and they look nothing like the
books.
Unfortunately I had bought the
Garmin charts on the way out of town. I tried to load them when we got to
Bimini, and that is when we found out you needed the
internet, and or
phone to open the charts. So it was back to paper, and D.R. We have finally been able to open the charts after returning home. I personally prefer the look of
Maptech, but then again I am comfortable with what I am use to.
