Posts: 902 Norman,OK | I tried to get a good chart of the area you are looking for last year and couldn't find anything in the price range I was looking for.
I ended up finding a very old chart my dad had from fishing down there.

Posts: 757 japan | of heard that cutting paper charts into a4 sized bits and then laminating them works well
but i'm very comfortable with my small garmins now and would load them with the appropriate marine charts, keep one inside my wetsuit as backup, and the other tied to the boom

Posts: 16 Texas | Here's where I got my charts(free): http://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/Raster/Index.htmI dl them to my pc and print them out. Dl & install a viewer too. You could then section & laminate. Charts are a better nav aid than sat image because most of them show depth readings and obstructions. Sat image has it's place & time, though. You can also get printed charts for about $20 ea. at West Marine stores.

Posts: 778 Houston | If you have a computer file of the map, you can print it on waterproof paper. This only works for laser printers. The waterproof paper is not as good as a laminated map but it's relativly cheap. Layline sells the paper or you can go to. http://www.riteintherain.com/ | | |
