Hi,

I am in the process of building my own nautical navigation program. I am writing it in Windows C# using VS2010 and MS 2010 Access DB.

I am stuck without a module to display the nautical charts. Nautical charts are formatted to the NOAA S57 or S60 formats of the original .BSB format.

Does anyone know of a DLL or plug in or source code that I can use to display these chart formats. These particular formats are exclusive to the nautical world as such it is difficult to locate code (dll etc) that I can use. And I am yest to find any examples on how to build your own viewer.

There is a C++ library "libbsb" for win32 that I am trying to find documetation to, but no luck so far.

Some of the tools I have looked at include...
* OpenCPN
* MapWindow
* NavPak-Pro
* OkMap
* Fugawi View ENC
* SoftChart Viewer
* PolarView

I have looked in the GIS format and it does not have anything related to these particular formats available.

Anyhelp would be great.

what sort of documentation are you looking for libbsb? have you seen http://libbsb.sourceforge.net/

Hm. I just took a look at this. I suspect the documentation is indeed less then brilliant (if any)...
