> MyNOAACharts FREE Tablet App:
> If you haven't heard, NOAA is testing a tablet app called MyNOAACharts. It's
> in Beta test now and only available for Android devices from Google Play;
> but, is very usable and can be a valuable aid to navigation with these
> features:
> . Quick and easy download of updated charts.
> . Quick and easy download of selected Coast Pilot with internal links and
> link to related charts
> . GPS location of your vessel
> . Creating and editing of waypoints
> . Constant display of SOG/COG, and view range of the chart window
> . Touch activated vector from ship to any point with lat/lon, distance, and
> course
> . On-screen chart selection
> . . and more
> 
> These are just some of the features I've gleaned from checking it out. If
> you have an Android tablet I think you'll be very surprised how useful this
> app can be, if nothing more than providing easy access to current charts.
> And, since it is a beta version, NOAA is asking for feedback from users.
> Feedback will be very useful in encouraging NOAA to continue development of
> this software. This 2014 season will be a critical trial for MyNOAACharts,
> so once you've had a chance, do give feedback to NOAA through this web site:
> nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/MyNOAACharts/. There, you'll find a link to Inquiry
> & Comment. Give them a piece of your mind. Or, submit comments directly to
> nautical.charting at noaa.gov.
