Not sure what to do with 20 Pounds of Paper Navigation Charts.:confused:
My Father has been collecting Navigation Charts since the mid 1960's through the mid 1990's. Dad did some extensive cruising in the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia & Alaska, so there are quite a few of those areas...

The only things I have read are...
I saw Gareth mention that he switched over to a laptop, so I was curious as to what others are using/have used for Nav. software. I plan on getting Nobeltec for the upcoming season, but I am open to ideas.
