Anyone seen/used/comment on these.
Aprt from they are american and you need a BIG grey ship with a BIG gun on!!!!
They can be "installed" as they are just PDF's and cause none of the usual windows slap trash everywhere installs.

They come as standard with the New Maptech Chart Navigator Pro, where they can be called up during navigation.
Seem OK to me but lack some finer details like radio channels for entry etc.

Have used them for years as background for piloting - lots of info on local conditions, pics of lighthouses etc. and info on radio channels usually sufficient - esp. if nothing else is onboard a charter yacht.
Though the data on berthing is not quite relevant for most of us (who needs 300m RORO-facilities with 8m draft), I usually read it in addition to yottie pilot books.
