Re: free charts East Coast Australia
Not much available except the CM93 charts. Maybe one day our politicians might tell the hydrographic folks to make them available free for download but I wouldn't hold my breath.

There seems to be a code error in your zip files, only 2 charts could be unzip.
You might have a look to do it again as one zip.
Thanks

Sorry you are having trouble. Are you using the WinZip program to uncompress? And only opening the file ending in .zip?
I have limited bandwith but will try to upload the entire file as you suggest.

Re: free charts East Coast Australia
Had major problems trying to download those files from that site. Multiple failure part way through. I finally succeeded only by using a specialist download manager application which supports multiple threads and resumes.
Would you like me to to post those files on another site that won't cause download problems?

Well, what I can see is that some are rather old charts! Am I mistaking it or ls? After a first look there seems to be a reference problem in between charts, is that a survey adjustment! If you compare with the CM93.
Best Regards.

The KAP files are dated between 1997 and 2011.
The date of the charts they are based on must be older than the files.
Just looking at a few around Whitsundays region, the charts there appear to be dated in the mid 90's.

Aw shucks! No offence taken. I just don't have any later versions of the charts.
Hope what I have can be of help to someone. A good exercise would be to use GE2KAP to compare them against satellite imagery. I honestly don't have the time to do that for a region I'm not sailing in.
Cheers and beers, Terry

Re: free charts East Coast Australia
Old thread, but most relevant.
Anyone advise a current link where can I download CM93 charts for east Oz, without including the entire world?
Thanks, Graeme
