Does anyone know of a map database that shows the depths as you travel out from the east coast? Or, how deep it might be 10 miles out from Charleston, SC ? Thanks,
Dick

Dick-NY,

10 Miles out from Charleston you will be in 35-50 feet of water. Certainly it will vary depending upon the location. You can download charts and viewers through the NOAA website at the url below.

Here is an image of the area you are looking for. Let me know if I can help. I live down the coast in Beaufort, SC.

Robert: Are US still using feet as measurements on nautical maps?

Cornelius: Fathoms - You have spend too much time looking at old maps

All the best charts are in Fathoms!!!!!!!

You will find a mixture. I have some charts that will read anything below 3 fathoms in feet and anything 3 and above in fathoms. Some of the charts are two sided with the shallow areas near shore in feet and on the other side it will show a wider area with measurements in fathoms The east coast of SC is very shallow within 10 miles of shore and is better measured in feet.

Goldfever: As for the program I am using, I have a copy of OziExplorer that works great. You can now download Raster (BSB) charts from NOAA for free that are compatible with OziExplorer. It does a lot! Good for plotting, download and uploading waypoints, and can be used in real time with your GPS.
