Gaia Increase

[Jethro]

Got an email from Gaia this morning. When my account renews in February it will be at $59.90. No longer $39.99.

No biggie, its $20. Got me thinking, anyone ever see a Gaia coupon code? I'm not aware of any other than at the time of your initial purchase.

50% increase? Ouch. They better get NOAA nav charts back as a layer.

NOAA nav charts? I might have to give them a try afterall.

USED to have. You can still get them with a workaround. Something about NOAA publishing the data in a different format now.

For the record, this is how to get the NOAA charts:

I did get a useful workaround from customer service:

Hi there,

The Electronic Navigational Charts source was meant as a temporary replacement for the NOAA maps, and it no longer available in the map menu.

You can add it as a custom source following these steps (skip to step 3): Adding a TMS Map Source

The TMS URL is:
https://gaiavectortilerendering.global.ssl.fastly.net/noaa-enc/{z}/{x}/{y}.png



It works alright as a short term solution.
