There are free inland ENC (IENC) for all EU nations that cover all the rivers and some coastal waters near river basins, but otherwise all global nations except US and New Zealand charge for their ENC. There are packaged ENC options for specific nav apps (ECS) such as Meltemus charts for qtVlm or O-charts for OpenCPN and these are much discounted prices, but they only work on those specific apps.
Is there any free equivalent ENC for europe ?
