My charts were update about 12-18 months ago and my subscription has expired. As best as I can tell it costs about $200 to do a chart update online. I wonder if it is worth it. What do you other boaters do about these expensive updates.

Thanks, Joe

Don't use Navionics!!!

US NOAA charts are free, both ENC and BSB. Pay for Fugawi or even better
(IMHO) PolarView NS once and get free charts whenever they're updated.
