Mostly, I'm interested in having a chart for the planning phase of a trip. 
It's very hard to decide on where to go without some sort of chart.  The best
I've seem to come up with are topographical maps that don't give me a great
indication on where to land.

How does the government decide when to print new editions?  When some buoy of
theirs goes astray?  Inexplicably, they often decide to change the flash
patterns of existing sites, it seems at random.  Pretty much all charts are
obsolete the day they're printed.
