Tom, let us know if you have any success. The Canadian digital chart market is a colossal screw up. Years ago, the government awarded a monopoly on electronic chart distribution to some outfit out of Newfoundland, and for years, those folks have been charging a king's ransom for the charts. I had heard a while ago of some initiative to break that situation, but frankly haven't followed it closely since my boat hasn't been in Canada in almost 3 years.
It'd be nice if they could make them freely available as NOAA does for US charts.

Making a short visit to Yarmouth, NS, area this summer and desire charts 4240-4244 but don't feel like buying the full ATL06 region for $175. I like raster charts for use with my laptop navigation programs. > Second best, I also use an Android tablet and have the Navionics USA app and can get the USA/Canada charting app for a mere $15, which should cover that area in vector charts, but I still prefer raster charts that match my paper charts. Anyone know of any Android apps that cover Canada using raster charts?
