All the UKHO UK charts plus chartplotting software which does allow an AIS input for £69.95

This is from the same place as the excellent Bellfield Tider Plotter.

I hope they have improved it from last year's version. The overlap between charts produced some strange effects where the text and notes from one chart obliterated the detail from the area you were sailing. I spoke to Keith Belfield and he reported the problem was peculiar to the west coast and its mosaic of overlapping charts at different scales (and data) and that his software writers were working on the facility to show one complete chart at a time. Particularly bad was Loch Shuna off Croabh where 4 or 5 charts overlap, west Kyle of Bute, north end of Jura and there were others that I can't remember.
