[PUP] Ok, last time I'll ask this question: Paper Charts,

[Keith]

NOAA ENC charts meet the carriage requirement for commercial vessels now. 
Military does pretty much what they want anyway, but they have gone to 
entirely electronic charts. I am not aware of any chart carriage requirement 
for pleasure vessels.... heck, they don't even require a compass!

That being said, I usually have paper charts on board for wherever I go, 
sometimes buying them along the way.
