Granted, my use has been with maps of inland waterways (e.g., Mississippi River) but I run color copies of the maps on 8 1/2 x 11" paper, fold them in half (each sheet is now 8 1/2 x 5 1/2") trim the margins and laminate in 10 mil laminating. I then assemble them in order and add a wire spiral binding. This small 'notebook' fits easily into the small turkey hunter's chest pack that I've attached with fastex buckles to the front of my PFD - which folds open to form a small shelf of sorts which is useful for working with things while in the cockpit. The little pack also holds snacks, extra compass, wax pencil, some emergency equip - I find it extremely handy - plus, if my boat and I go separate ways for some reason - everything is with me rather than in a knee tube or behind my seat. Again, not sure if it is practical with large scale marine charts - but certainly works for my use.
