Iles Chausey charts online
      #1858447 - 14/05/2008 13:27

Anyone know if I can view a chart of the "Iles Chausey" online. I do have charts on the boat, and C-Map on the chart-plotter, but want to have a look at the area in the comfort of home.

These do? I took a couple of screenshots sometime back when a friend visited there.

You could always try googling for the word 'purplefinder'.
It is used for ship/yacht tracking. First full screen example I found just now was
www.emissionshaus.com/kc/english/purplefinder/index.xml
and click on 'Karte anzeigen'.
or even the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club use it to track races...
http://www.rhkyc.org.hk/hkvietnamrace/purplefinder.htm

Once open you can view the whole world map, define a rectangle with the mouse to zoom in to minute detail for anywhere in the world, add isobars (they get more detailed the more you zoom in), add wave height etc. or even look at the isobar map with 10 days of prediction.

Yes probably, I should have taken a photo of the screen instead

You can view C-maps online here. Quite a handy tool I have bookmarked

I'm into that Brendan. I just wanted to see a better overview of the whole rocky area before we go and visit next month.

I also found a site (French of course, but in English) showing the main island. I haven't a clue how I got to this map, except via google.
