This is odd. When you click on the link Michael attached you get a "page
not found" error. I also needed to look up a place in Greece this
morning for some authority record work and found that the GEOnet page
for foreign names is not available. Connected problem? I'm hoping that
maybe they are just doing a website upgrade and this is temporary, but...

I just discovered that many of these charts--charts that had been
available electronically at
http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/NGAChartViewer.html--have been
recently removed from public access. Judging from the (vague) "important
note" at the top of the page, it's a copyright issue.

Anybody have details? And does anybody have an alternate source?

Thanks.
