I Buy Every Edition,

This review is from: Chesapeake Bay VA and MD Chartbook(8th Edition) (Spiral-bound)
Since I began boating, I've purchased each edition of the ADC chartbook for the Chesapeake Bay. Its size is convenient versus full-size NOAA charts, it covers the whole bay with insets for major ports, the planning map is a more than decent road map, and its other features are well thought-out. The Maptech Chesapeake chartbook is even more thorough and gives the same scale as the NOAA charts (1:80,000 rather than 1:40,000 for ADC) and will be more useful for some sailors, but it is twice the size and more than twice the cost. I use both: the ADC for general voyaging and the Maptech for areas which are critical (shallow water, narrow channels, submerged hazards).

This review is from: Chesapeake Bay VA and MD Chartbook(8th Edition) (Spiral-bound)
The charts are very informative & detailed. Unfortunately, some of the writing is so small, even with my reading glasses on I had to get out my magnifying glass. Have not taken my trip yet, but upon evalutating all my choices to compliment my electronics, this seemed to be the best; even after receiving it & going through it planning, I have found it helpful complimenting the Gunkholer's Crusing Guide & glad I bought both of them.

Good, but not the best, chartbook,

This review is from: Chesapeake Bay VA and MD Chartbook(8th Edition) (Spiral-bound)
The content is comprehensive. This chartbook will get you from the bottom of the Conawego dam to the Atlantic, but take a hard look at the dimensions. It is small, and while there are a handful of useful insets those that are of places you'd actually want to take your boat are minute. The whole western shore in the region of Anapolis gets essentially 1 page. along with a tiny inset of anapolis harbor itself. But great gunkhole anchorages like the West river only have about 10 cm^2 of chart space.
The waterproofing is handy, so you will have it forever, but you might think hard about shelling out an extra 60 dollars for something bigger from another vendor.
