S-57 isn't supported by Roadmap. But if someone out there has Arcview and wants to convert to shapefiles, a new class file is all that would be required to compile/display nautical maps...

[edit] It looks like there may be open source software to convert S-57 to shapefiles(openev). I'm downloading the charts now. If I can get this to work who wants to host them? [/edit]
