Maybe this isn't news to you all, but I just discovered that the online index and chart viewer that gave the public access to hi-res versions of NGA's nautical charts of non-US coastal waters worldwide have been taken down from NOAA's site. (A couple of years ago they removed most charts due to copyright restrictions. Now they've removed them all.) See my correspondence with NOAA/OCS below... For the moment, some charts are still viewable online at www.nauticalchartsonline.com. Not sure how long that'll last if copyright is the obstacle to free online access. mf Original message: Hi, Not too long ago, the nauticalcharts.noaa.gov website hosted indexes to NGA nautical charts of non-US waters and hi-res versions of charts from the handful of regions (1, 5 and 9?) that they still had permission to make freely available. I don't see this resource available anymore. Has it moved, or has NGA removed all of their nautical charts from free public access? Thank you.

Due to copyright restrictions, we had to remove all NGA charts from our web site. -- Michael Fry Map Editor and Senior Map Librarian National Geographic Society 1145 17th St. N.W.
