If thats the case it takes a long time for the newest edition to get to the local marinas.

Taz,

I’m not sure what map you were viewing at your local marina. I would expect merchants would be stocking and selling the latest edition of the maps. Bizer’s recent eighth edition and Duncan’s latest is their 2005 edition.

If you don’t recognize the benefits of corrections pages on their web sites I won’t try to change your mind. An additions, changes and corrections page for each map makes a lot of sense to me. Things do change between printings and sometimes errors, oversights additions and deletions occur. I like to print the corrections and changes pages occasionally and keep them with my maps.

By the way Taz, thank you for helping make the point of this thread with the other NRZs. More inaccurate or missing information from Duncan Press. Duncan only adds Advent Cove as a NRZ on their corrections page – it is not listed on their current map.

Duncan Press does NOT even mention or recognize Buzzels Cove, East Cove or Black Cove as NRZs on their map or on their corrections and additions web page. What good is THAT?
