Geogarage, the mapping platform of raster charts derived from official services, today introduced two ENC-S57 rasterized charts layers for Weather4D Routing & Navigation, covering ’Spain and Croatia. The recent update June, 12 th of the application allows the activation of these two new chart sets.
The two new chart layers in the Geogarage interactive catalog
Issued directly from’IHM (Hydrographic Institute of Spain Navy), rasterized Spanish ENC charts now cover the entire coastline of’Spain, with 296 charts available. Thus, the hundred of Spain charts offered by the UKHO will soon be removed from this catalog.
Likewise for the Croatia, 150 new charts issued from the ENC of HHI (Croatian Hydrographic Institute) are available for Weather4D Routing & Navigation. Current UKHO charts will also be withdrawn at term.
This big work done by the Geogarage team (rasterization and tiling of ENCs) will continue in the future to cover the "gray areas" of their catalog, initially the regions most frequented by boaters, and perhaps subsequently more “exotic” areas if sufficient demand allows the necessary investments to be amortized (annual license costs and hourly labor costs).

Olivier, there options to test it forever 🙂
Too bad before subscribing, for example to Spanish cards, we cannot test them to get an idea of their presentation and quality. I asked Geogarage who told me that if these maps did not suit me, in the 24 hours after my registration I could contact them and I would be reimbursed.
