I've found that -- despite the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) claim that
their US dealer prices are supposed to be equivalent -- the US prices are not
closely regulated and you can get charts cheaper ordering directly from CHS.
With the exchange rate, a C$20 chart would be cost about US$13.  Not a major
savings, but at least a little cheaper.
