George tipped me off about the highly detailed Antares charts of the West Coast of Scotland. They have been compiled very professionally by some very dedicated amateurs and show some of Scotland 's finest anchorages in stunning detail. I have just received the 2012 edition on a USB memory stick. I have now booted them up on my iPad and have been browsing away. We will be testing them just as soon as Shimshal hits the water next month and will be reporting back on how well they work. Visit Antares charts for more details.

We have been trying these out this summer and they are very impressive.
