I guess my situation is a little different because I have quite a few
more charts than 80 to take care of. Standard practice in the Navy is to
have a ready list of charts that might be needed at any time that are
always kept corrected to the most recent information and the other
charts are only corrected when you know that he planned voyage will
require their use. (Why correct charts for the Persian Gulf if I know my
deployment is going to be to Central America to chase down drug boats?)
On a weekly basis I can go to the website and download the corrections
on my CO's ready list (entering all the charts at once separating the
numbers by a comma, if you are going to be using the same charts all the
time you can save the numbers in a document that you cut and paste to
enter in the websites query window) and keep them corrected and then
once a voyage is scheduled and I start planning I can go in and get the
corrections for any additional charts that I am going to use.

Stacy,
If you think that is "easier than ever" you never used the ANMS system
in the 1980s. The web site requires human interaction all the way
through the process AFIK. If you know a way to automate it I will be
forever grateful.
Thanks
