Neat charts, but you'd better know where you're going. I searched for 
Capers Island and it told me it was at St Helena, SC and stuck a marker 
on the south end of Pritchards Island, SC, a mere 11 islands down the 
coast from Capers.

Hmm, zooming in a little and also looking at 
http://marine.geogarage.com/ , which seems to have better resolution, I 
see that there is a notation on the chart there saying Capers Island. 
Except there's no island there, really, just marsh. GIGO, YMMV, caveat 
emptor, and all that.
