Raster charts beyond the Balearics?

[dgadee]

I've been very happy with Visit My Harbour package covering everything from UK to Eastern Med at a very low price, running on a pc (opencpn) and Android (Marine Navigator) but hopefully next summer will see me out of their range. I need a new source for raster charts for the Western Med.

I've been trying to see what's available for what platform but my head is now spinning. What do others use? I don't have a plotter and want to stay with a pc but with Android backup.

I think you have your East and West transposed. VMH chart package covers the western med, but not the east. I asked them about cheap charts for Greece/Turkey earlier this year, but they don't have a good solution. I have yet to find high quality eastern med charts for opencpn etc.

I do indeed. I also mix up left and right. Why is that?

Dyslexia, I have the same problems , and some !!
but does not always affect writing and reading , but lefts and rights and directions

These o-charts are ones I found while googling but not sure (i) are they raster since they look like vector charts? (ii) there seems to be an extra license to buy? (iii) can these be used on a pc and an Android device?

It is not the easiest of product information to understand.

No its not user friendly at all , I am a member so have bypassed the front cover
here is the information that might help
S-63 UserPermits

S-63 charts are official vector charts with worldwide coverage. However, many popular cruising areas are very poorly covered as the main focus are the requirements of commercial shipping. They have a relatively high price as well. We sell S-63 UserPermits, a key that entitles the OpenCPN user to license S-63 charts from a distributor. O-charts.org has entered into agreements with S-63 Valued Added Resellers (VAR) like ChartWorld that are offering direct distribution channels.
They are expensive , and vector ,but are good for Ocpn
