Hi All,
Is there any place left that shows nautical charts on-line?

The  government  NOAA site no longer shows charts. 

Thanks,
Chuck Sutherland

You can get some here, 

http://mapserver.maptech.com/homepage/index.cfm?BPID=MAP0060030900

but they are only small sections at a time, and not great for
navigation.  If you just want to check out an area on-line, though, it
should be fine.

Be sure to pick the nautical charts... they also have topo and other
types.

Rick

If you download a viewer, you can get all the ENCs from noaa at
http://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/enc/download.htm

They also have rasterized paper chart files available somewhere, but I 
don't think these are as up-to-date

Also interesting is the beta Coast Pilot - a textual narrative 
description of coastal waters.  Only one available now it for New 
England.

not the nautical equivalent of topozone, I'm not sure that's available.-

OK, so there IS an online nautical chart server -

Haven't looked around much but it seems like what you're looking for!
