Lew, I believe what you mention above are the charts and tables contained in
the IMO Handbook. The current edition has 12 of these "finder" charts with
about 2 pages of tables to go along. If they were digitized, would not the
larger size also mean larger image files? Thus slower loading time by a web
browser, especially for those without high-speed connections?
I am only guessing here since I don't have this equipment, but thought maybe
you or Gary would know......
