Dennis,

NOAA's online chart viewer http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/OnLineViewer.html currently includes links to selected NGA charts for regions 1 (North America), 5 (Western Africa, Mediterranean, Black Sea) and 9 (Eastern Asia, South Eastern Russia, Philippines). NOAA offers many disclaimers about these charts but makes them available as a service. They can be very helpful for libraries lacking charts for the covered areas.

All,

Does anyone know if the NGA (Formerly DMA, NIMA) nautical charts regions 1-9 ( http://mdnautical.com/220-nga-formerly-dma-nima-nautical-charts ) are available online or if a library has done something to digitize their sets? Our library ended up discarding most of our regions due to space issues and I've always wanted to find an "e-replacement" in case someone came looking for map(s) in a region we don't have carry.

Thanks,

Dennis
