George;
I downloaded the charts but do not know how to get them to work seamlessly.
Any suggestions?

> Welcome to the second e-mail newsletter for the NOAA ENC[reg] program. We
> hope that you find the following information useful.
>
> OFFICIAL NOAA ENC[reg] DATA
>
> NOAA has announced in the Federal Register (May 21, 2003 Volume 68, Number
> 98) that it will remove the "provisional" status from the NOAA ENCs[reg]
> that are distributed, free of charge, on the Internet. This will take
place
> at the end of June, 2003. At that point, a NOAA ENC[reg] will constitute
a
> "nautical chart" for the purposes of the 1974 International Convention for
> the Safety of Life at Sea. To see the full text of the announcement,
please
> go to the following web site and search for the text "Electronic
> Navigational Chart":
>
> http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html
>
> NOAA ENC[reg] PROGRESS
>
> Since NOAA first began releasing NOAA ENCs[reg] on the Web in July of
2001,
> over 500,000 cells have been downloaded! At the end of May, 2003, NOAA
will
> have 285 cells posted for download covering most of the major port areas
of
> the United States. These are provided free of charge.
>
> As of May, 2003, NOAA ENCs[reg] are being updated for Notices to Mariners
> and reposted to the Web site on a monthly basis. In the next few months,
> NOAA plans to begin posting incremental update files rather than reposts
of
> the entire cell. These updates are small "patch" files that are produced
to
> meet the International Hydrographic Organization, S-57 ENC Product
> Specification. This means that they will be suitable for use with various
> electronic navigation systems that support S-57 data.
>
> We are also pleased to announce that the download site will take on a new
> look and feel starting in the next few weeks. The new download site will
> allow you to choose between downloading using the same check off list form
> that is currently in use, or to use a map of the U.S. that shows outlines
of
> the NOAA ENCs[reg] and allows you to graphically select the cells that you
> are interested in. Either method will also allow you to view a simple
> thumbnail graphic of each cell to see what area it covers and get
additional
> metadata such as what Notice to Mariners a cell is up to date through.
>
> For access to free NOAA ENCs[reg], more information about them, as well as
> the latest information about compatible software, free data viewers and
> other utilities, please visit our Web site at the address below and click

> Electronic Navigational Charts.

> NEW CHART UPDATE WEB SITE
>
> NOAA's Office of Coast Survey has recently started a new Web based service
> that provides updating information for nautical charts. This service
> provides easy access to chart updates that have been published in United
> States Coast Guard (USCG) Local Notice to Mariners (LNM), National Imagery
> and Mapping Agency (NIMA) Notice to Mariners (NM) and Canadian Coast Guard
> Notice to Mariners (CNM). Chart updates can include information on aids to
> navigation changes, hazards to navigation or other information considered
> essential for safe navigation, e.g. channel conditions, bridge and cable
> clearances, and regulatory changes. These chart updates reflect the same
> information available on the NOAA Print-on-Demand paper charts, the NOAA
> raster chart update service, and the NOAA Electronic Navigational Charts
> (NOAA ENC[reg]). However, temporary changes to aids to navigation, special
> published announcements and other important information affecting
> navigational safety are not available on this web site. So while the site
> will be an extremely useful tool for mariners who are updating their
> nautical charts, it is not a complete replacement for the published
Notices
> to Mariners.
>
> The site allows a user to find updates by chart number, geographic name or
> port name. The system will automatically list all updates that are
> applicable to the current street edition of the paper chart, with options
> for listing corrections for previous editions or to a specific date.
>
