Product Features:

Extended Product Description:
Fully compatible with the EarthNC Plus line of vector nautical charts, EarthNC Raster charts extend EarthNC’s unique Google Earth chart coverage to all NOAA RNC and ENC charted areas.
Recommended Uses
In areas with EarthNC Plus vector coverage, you can layer EarthNC Raster underneath the vector chart elements and compare vector and raster chart elements to Google Earth aerial imagery by changing the transparency of the Raster layer.
EarthNC Raster is also useful during offline use when the Google Earth image cache lacks detailed satellite imagery or in the areas where NOAA has not yet completed vector charting.
Given the size of the raster images, EarthNC Raster is offered by region on DVD. Our 1st region is the Southeast including charts from Corpus Christi, Texas to Virginia Beach, Virginia plus Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Additional regions for the Northeast, Great Lakes, West Coast, and Alaska will be released soon.
