Sailmag.com has partnered with NavQuest to offer a new, easy-to-use online trip planner that calculates your trip time and distance, overlays your itinerary on either NOAA charts or Yahoo satellite maps, and provides weather forecasts, nearby marina services, and even tides schedules. Float plans can be printed, e-mailed, or downloaded to your chartplotter. You can also use the service to download NOAA charts.
