See topic. I want to use them with a Garmin handheld device. I can do transformations from, e.g., OpenStreetMap myself (with some instruction).

I guess you already know how to sail/boat habe paper charts on board and just want a convenient way to get updated digital maps.
You could try https://map.openseamap.org/ but it will be limited regarding the information you get.
I tried pirating the training maps for the „Sportbootführerschein See“ (German drivers license for boats in German waters) and had no luck.
I would not bother pirating this for two reasons:
- The only valid maps (for German waters) are made by the „Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie“ and all maps are a licensed copy. They put a lot of work into maintaining and updating those maps and one way to maintain the infrastructure for safely traveling is paying for it.
- Your life could depend on an accurate map. The official maps I found were updated every 10 days. Would you risk it for a couple of €?
