Maptech Marine

[TwoStroke]

Has anyone used their software and maps?

Looks ideal for a starter kit for £99. Can plot my course and download to a HH GPS, plus print out the maps. Was wondering how accurate their maps are for that price?

Maptech charts are a scanned copy of the printed charts so are as accurate as they are.
Maptech are (imo) the best value charts around. I use them with another software package called OziExplorer (see <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.oziexplorer.com>http://www.oziexplorer.com</A>). This costs about £50 and supports Maptech charts plus self scanned charts. It's also got quite a bit more functionality than the basic Maptech software.

They use the Admiralty charts, I've found them spot on.

Have you checked out Euronav Seaprolite ? IMHO better system and much clearer and better definition on max zoom.Very user friendly.
If your looking for a cost effective system try www stentec.com they market a programme where you scan your own charts,bit fiddly but accurate if you take your time with the scan and bitmap render.
