NOAA RNCs ar going away.

Hey all...


I guess NOAA was not kidding when they announced that RNC support will be ending, step-by-step, starting a few years ago.



Attached are two pictures of OCPN RNC outlines, east coast US, Region 06
First is coverage from a set loaded in roughly 2021.
Next shows coverage for a set loaded 13 October, 2023.


There are no more large scale inshore RNCs of the ICW in Region06 available for download.


The message here is:
If you like using RNCs for US inshore navigation, search your systems, and archive carefully the latest available set you have, hopefully from about 2021 or so. They are now becoming unavailable as downloads from NOAA, starting with large scale charts, generally.



Time marches on.
