Aston,
Here's a link to an article that I wrote for Sea Kayaker last year 
reviewing one of the electronic chart plotting programs. I still use the 
program for every trip that I plan. Also, all of my friends come over to my 
house to use it as well (and print out charts). They usually bring beer and 
sometimes food, which is one of the benefits that I didn't mention in the 
article.
