I was able to download Maptech Viewer at the link below
http://www.maptechnavigation.com/support/downloads.cfm?CFID=2461853&CFTO...
Then I downloaded charts from NOAA, copied them into the source file for the Chart Navigator allowing navigation on my computer.
This link is; http://www.charts.noaa.gov/RNCs/RNCs.shtml
Note these charts do not include Clinton Lake or other small lakes, but does cover the Great Lakes well. I found it very useful on our Door County trip.
Hope you can find this useful.

Dock repairs
Submitted by Joe Budden on Thu, 04/16/2009 - 8:25pm
Don and I on the 4-4-09 replaced the missing dock hardware. (last section of the sailboat dock broke loose last month)
Tonight 4-16, Linda and I (with the right equipment) were able to straighten and complete the tightening of the new hardware to have the sailboat dock ready for the season.
