EarthNC Online brings together a growing library of nautical-interest layers for Google Earth. Layers include basic marine approach and harbor charts (lights, buoys, markers,..), real-time weather, marine forecasts, AIS ship tracking, point-of-interest maps, EarthNC user-submitted information, and more. Accessing layers is simple, just load a single Google Earth link and select layers of interest from the Google Earth Places menu and map.
