Canadian Hydrographic Service Digital Charts on CD-ROM

Nautical charts on CD-ROM offer a user-friendly, portable and cost-effective means of obtaining charts for a large area. For example, the charts for Georgian Bay are all contained on one CD - for only $74.95.

Canadian Hydrographic Service Digital Charts are officially released CHS raster charts. ("Raster" is a computer generated image that is a replica of the paper navigation chart - with the latitude and longitude of the position of the cursor.) These CDs are designed for recreational boaters and function with most navigational software.

Please note that Canadian Hydrographic Service Digital Charts CD-ROMs do not contain navigation software or chart viewing software. Canadian Hydrographic Service Digital Charts focus on chart content only. You must already own navigation software in order to view the charts.
