GPS Software on CD or DVD Format for US and Islands

Just bought a Panasonic Toughbook that has a built in GPS antenna etc. and am looking for the best software to install.. I am interested mainly in US waters, and the central Caribbean and possibly Belize, Honduras etc..

Any Recommendations??

I am a big fan of Navionics / Garmin style charting etc.

C-Map NT stuff I dislike...

Thanks for your time..

Re: GPS Software on CD or DVD Format for US and Islands

Check out www.officialnoaacharts.com for the US RNC charts and software.

There is a topic in the forum about downloading NGA chart images and converting them to usable bsb charts here: http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...archid=2386627

These will cover much of the world (including the other areas you are interested in). You can view a list of these here: Index of /NGAViewer

Clicking on one of the .shtml will bring up it's image.
