Admiralty Digital Catalogue ADC

[Roberto]

Hello,
I wished to have a look at the various available UKHO charts, I could not find a Catalogue online viewer on their web site but only addresses to download this ADC.
Ok I downloaded the zipped file, unzipped it and -oh surprise surprise- more zipped files inside the first zipped one, file names not very evocative of which one to unzip further to have a list of available charts. I unzipped the most likely and I got only an .xml file which is about unreadable.
Is there a readily readable publication to have a look at the charts outlines, scales, etc?

I use the Bookharbour chart selector - Nautical Charts

I believe that you have to install the programme on a PC, not just unzip the files. Well that is what I did and the programme seems to work and you can filter out charts by scale if the confusion of chart outline rectangles is too confusing.

Thank you both, it's a very occasional use so I'll use the web site above.
BTW, just curious, any idea why the numbering of chart appears so odd?
Chart 1003 - Approaches to Porto da Beira - Mozambique
1004 - Canakkale - Turkey
1007 - Mokpo - Korea
1010 - Sweden East coast
1011 - Addoo Atoll
1016 - Chittagong
1017 - Golfo de California
