Yeah, just got it from "the horse's mouth" i.e. Glenn at SM. Ordered the VB/Marsh Island chip and if it is what it looks like it will be, I will probably then order the combo card for Dularge/Cocodrie/Timberlier/Fouchon area. I spoke with him about the high $$ chip that I posted about. He says he is familiar with it and has even looked at in on a PC and is thinking of incorporating that in any updates he does of the VB/MI area. He said the info came from an old NOAA map that the guy figured out how to digitize and save it to a chip for the Garmin units. He'll have to do the same to get it on his cards.
Thanks for all the advice Steve.
