Yep, that's what I actually do for planning. And at €35 (about AUD55) for Aus, PNG and several other surrounding countries O-charts is a bargain.



But for the OP, the Navionics web app is a free good introduction.

My screen shots ARE the online webapp. The warning is clearly visible when you are working with a route. See the images in Post # 10

Do not think auto route gives you a safe or logical route.
It's bloody dangerous.

Agree, but it’s very good to give you a quick starting point.

What I tend to do is use the autoroute for a first approximation then go along and manually adjust the route to one that meets my requirements.

Making sure I use an appropriate scale so I don’t miss any islands or reefs along the way!

I have logged a technical post to the administrators and am still waiting for a reply which is fine and again, please do not think io am being rude for not replying. I still need to re login EVERTIME I want to reply and all of the other issues mentioned in previous posts. Now I can not bloody get back to reply to Stu?" I think. Thanks for that advice and i agree totally but in this day and age, anyone who produced such an app for various countries based on specific scripts and existing internet resources would do very well in my opinion..

I am going to try and reply to a extremely valuable resource being Gulumay (again, I can not check because I will be logged out and lose this post stream.
Cheers all
