If you havent already seen it there are a nice collection of online marine charts that can be accessed here.

For example, here's our beloved Salem Sound

Unfortunately there are no tools for checking bearings, distances etc. but still an easy way to view and plan trips online.

While there is not inherent software ability to point/click/drag to determine these figures, a compass rose and scale allows for accurate trip planning on your monitor, using simple tools as dividers and simple straightedge, such as ruler or piece of paper. I have printed many of these maps for detail, being careful to transfer scale and magnetic North line(s), and highlighting aids to navigation, as these are sometimes indistinct in the printing process.

Thanks for the link. If you are interested, I posted this one a while ago which connects to google maps.

Thanks Kevin. This site avoids toggling between charts; now a "favorite".
