My son sent me this link last week. I know that there are a lot of boaters and others that would like this link. It's like google earth of the ocean floor with nautical chart overlays: http://demo.geogarage.com/noaa/

Seems a little "buggy" at times depending on the resolution, either the terrain map or the nautical chart. Must be an experimental product. But for not having a couple grand in software and hardware, it's way-cool stuff. Thanks!

Pretty neat site. Backed into this post on a google search and I think they've worked out a few of the bugs. Looks like this is pretty detailed to me.

Update:

After playing with this awhile, some ofthese charts are WAY off when you zoom in compared to when you zoom out. Using this as a VERY general guide would be a good idea.

But for a first timer who hasn't yet received their Dodge Guide? This is still a great source of local info. :cool:
