In 2005, NOAA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began distributing raster and vector charts for free. There are also tens of thousands of pages of nautical reference material available free on the Web.

However, collecting and maintaining a complete coastal library is extremely time consuming. As a service to our Managing the Waterway cruising guide readers, we download and catalog updated NOAA and USACE charts and nautical publications yearly.

MTW Guides and Electronic Charts

Managing the Waterway cruising guides, written by Mark & Diana Doyle, are cockpit-friendly guides that provide information page-by-page and mile-by-mile. Our unique style combines navigation with appreciation, making the fundamentals less stressful so you can enjoy the sights along the way. Our Intracoastal Waterway guide covers Norfolk, Virginia to Miami, Florida. Our Florida Keys guide spans from Miami, Florida to the Dry Tortugas.

Managing the Waterway electronic charts began as a request from our readers and retailers, who wanted affordable collections of government electronic charts. These DVDs also include searchable government publications and free and trial versions of leading PC and Mac charting and navigation application programs!
