T&T: Updating charts on Garmin Chartplotters

[Frank Burrows]

Jeff:

Last summer the Coast Guard rerouted the north channel at Kent Narrows on 
the Chesapeake because of shoaling. They placed numerous temporary buoys 
outside the normal channel. I downloaded new charts two weeks later and 
both the vector and raster versions of the NOAA electronic charts were 
updated with the new buoys. I was very impressed.

I am also a satisfied Rose Point/Coastal Explorer user.

PS: The channel is to be dredged this spring using Maryland State and Queen 
Anne's County funds.
