I found those a while back and downloaded all the west side of Michigan and St. Claire to western Lake Erie on the eastern side of the state.

Since we spent a lot buying the boat and getting it outfitted so it was nice to have free charts available to save a little money.

They are in multiple 8.5 x 11 pages so they aren't convienent for a big picture look, but are at a good scale for details, at least from my novice boater perspective. I zipped them all into a smaller file for easy storage on a flash drive so I can peruse them if I get some free time at a computer.

Thanks Cap'n, that's pretty cool!! I cannot find any inland river charts on the site??? Anyone know why?

I found the Missouri River charts in .pdf form on the Army Corps of Engineers web-site. Try there yet?

Check out the following link for cheap charts of the world... this guy is into sailing, but don't hold that against him!

I came across this last week while in the UK talking to a friend that sails. All runs on a laptop with Windoz XP (probably OK with Windoze 7 but NOT Vista), and all you need to add is the USB GPS antenna (there is a link for this device on the web site). You can do nice things like print out charts, and plan your route before you even leave home! I am planning to run this on one of those Acer EePC laptops (cost about $400), so the whole combo will give me a global, extremely powerful 10.4" color chart plotter for under $500...

Hope this helps and maybe gives you some ideas... it works for me...
