I dont recall if the Rauscher guide I used last January was more recent than 96 - I think it was but in any case it was the most recent version available and was excellent. All the waypoints in there were good, at least everywhere I went, and all shoals and reefs were right where the guide said they were.
Having said that, eyeballs are the only reliable way to get into and out of anchorages. We made sure we either had the sun high enough to see what we were doing or we followed a GPS track we had made ourselves on the way in somewhere. By the way, the GPS's arent any better than the charts. Our charter boat had a Raymarine plotter and I had my handheld Garmin. The Garmin seemed a bit better but neither was at all reliable - You will definitely end up aground if you trust the plotter instead of your eyes.
