The base map is pretty useless. You have to buy the Bluecharts Atlantic CD
to get the detailed charts, which makes it rather an expensive aquisition.

The above CD contains all the charts from Spitzbergen to Capetown, N-S and
from India to Greenland E-W, excluding the US coastline.

Like Keith, I have to ask why you need such a device for dinghy sailing?
