For those who are interested in downloading a navigation program that allows you to overlay google earth have a look at www. cruisersforum.com. Somewhere on the net one can download charts too.

Do you refer to the openCPN thread?

Yes mate have a look around there.

Silly me, didn't pay attention to the title of the thread.

The download address is http://opencpn.org/ocpn/download

You will be interested in the free Brazilian charts Ricardo.

Yes! Very useful.

Pity I haven't found any for the Rio de la Plata. I'll have to buy a big scale paper one to make navigation and sextant exercises.

You might want to check out the "Long Term Almanac 2000-2050" by Geoffrey Kolbe. And you might also be interested in "Emergency Navigation" by Burch.

Ooops! Just found the Argentinian Charts.

Fantastic, it is truly amazing to think how this works. A great tool to have as part of your navigation package, the price is right too.

price??? it is all for free...... zero dollar... only a small notbook and a gps mouse for 20 bucks and here you go...

Ricardo follow the link below, for brazilian marine charts

Sim! Muito útil.

Pena que eu não encontrei nenhuma para o Rio de la Plata. Eu vou ter que comprar um papel grande escala para tornar a navegação e exercícios sextante.

Você pode querer verificar o "Almanaque de Longo Prazo 2000-2050", de Geoffrey Kolbe. E você também pode estar interessado em "emergência de navegação" por Burch.
