Maybe others are already aware of this site but I found it in an article in Sea kayaker. You can download, free of charge, any US NOAA chart in booklet form and then print the pages you need for a particular trip. The charts are at 75% scale. You can still use the latitude lines to accurately gage distance but the scale of the chart and scale of miles will be off 25% of what is noted on the chart.

The only software you need is adobe reader...and it's point and click simple to get to the charts you want.
