Are you a boater or boater-curious? DestinSharks is looking for beta-testers for its latest cool tool — EarthNC, marine charts for Google Earth:

We’ve been hard at work for over 6 months to provide an ‘Earth’ alternative for NOAA ENC vector charts covering US coastal waters. When fully released, DestinSharks.com will offer the full catalog of 600+ NOAA vector charts. Each EarthNC chart features the same elements (buoys, channels, lights, etc.) found in the original ENC files – complete with a custom marine icon set for Google Earth.
