I think you have summed it up quite well! I too would like to find a reasonably priced source of charts that seaclear can use to avoid the problems of scanning in charts (which is also very handy at times!) At the moment I have to use seaclear while running down from my mooring to plymouth and then switch to Maptech. Once the AIS arrives I will have to find some way of using seaclear if only to display contacts on a large scale chart.
