The cheapest way is to download Navionics for iPhone or iPad, gives you charts for all of Australia for about $16.00.

Hi
For what area ?
Australian Hydrograhic Service Maps are
well and trully over priced for the average fisherman. If you are in WA these may be a more affordable option..
Western Australian digital nautical charts
If you do a lot of
offshore fishing you may be better off getting a dedicated gps with all of Aus loaded. I purchased a Oregon 400c a while ago with all of Aus marine charts (<$600). Not sure of current Garmin/Magellan options.
Cheers

OK - the WA digital ones only go from
Lancelin down.. so no joy there.
Plan "C" maybe to buy relevant paper map and scan/calibrate it yourself...or buy an iPhone as suggested:)
Cheers

Ha ha-digital charts are available for all of Australia not just
Lancelin south!
Depending on what you want to use them in, there is Navionics ($320), C-Map ($300), or as stated you can get a Ipad and for about $18 you can get digital layered charts for all of Aus.
Those prices are NOT including the plotter.

@ fisho64
Ha Ha - was referring to the
WA digital ones. Sorry if this was not clear. The other link I provided has marine maps for all of Australia, but at a significant price.
As indicated in initial post..Hairy (WA) wants to use then in Oziexplorer..options (re maps) are limited.
Cheers

Theres also flytomap for the ipad, $5.50, they have one for
perth which looks like it takes in
lancelin.

Navionics is my favourite app, I use it on the Iphone and Ipad, Ipad = HD. The Android version is also brilliant. Great for sitting on the couch and planning routes before you head off and the maps are accurate.
