Anyone any recommendations for printing charts that can be laminated ? I had a look at the Navionics website as that's what I use on my phone and tablet, but theres nothing on the web version for navigation like where not is ( I know it's near the top somewhere)
Had a look at buying the paper admiralty charts but they aren't waterproof and not sure if they'd fit in my a4 laminator, thanks.

Re: Printable Charts
Are you sure it's really paper? Over here you can order 'paper' prints from NOAA but they are actually a vinyl print that is waterproof. Not sure why they refer to it that way.
Wrote a note said, 'back in a minute'. Bought a boat and I sailed off in it.

Re: Printable Charts
Imray charts are all now printed on partly synthetic water-resistant paper.
Having said that, my C27 Firth of Forth Imray chart is a bit large and unwieldy to use on the SIB, so I have scanned in the individual localities where I tend to go, then printed and laminated them on A3 or A4 sheets, which are much more practical to carry with me.

Re: Printable Charts
As said previously you could use something like this site http://www.visitmyharbour.com and print off/laminate on A4 ..... BTW they also do tide timetables etc

Re: Printable Charts
Memorymap do all 850 UKHO charts that cover Britain, Ireland and Channel Islands on DVD for a special price of £30, normally £50, which is a great buy with unlimited printing. They are raster maps rather than vector like Navionics so different scales are on separate charts and they appear identical to UKHO paper charts. I find laminated A4 charts/maps ideal for use in a small RIB or kayak. I print back to back and loop several laminates together with a bit of thin shock cord threaded through punch holes at one end.

Re: Printable Charts
If you draw a spiders web on a printed chart, and set a waypoint on a basic handheld GPS to the centre of the web, the GPS range and bearing enables you to instantly pinpoint your location on a printed chart. I have used this technique and it works really well, and is ideally suited to sibs.
