T&T: Charts for Bahamas on Coastal Explorer

[Tom Lawler]

Chuck and Susan,

What electronic charts do you use with Coastal Explorer outside the US?  We
are leaving Florida this week for Bahamas and then down the Chain towards
Grenada.  I love Coastal Explorer (CE) and am currently using their Beta
version 2.  I have no problem downloading and using all the free US charts.

They originally anticipated that version 2 would be released by June 2008
and they would have a version that could accept Navionics charts by December
2008.  I bought the Navionics card reader and the single chart that covers
all of the Caribbean, but the CE folks are still working on version 2.

I was told that CE can read Maptech BSB charts, but have not yet tried
them.  Do you know if CE will read other charts besides the US charts?  How
do you get them into the Laptop?

Thanks,

Tom
