The latest release (Jan 2006) of Triton Map includes the ability to use S57 format charts as a background layer. You will need a dongle and a license from SevenCs
The following description assumes that your system has neither the Seven Cs software nor Triton Map installed:
From the Triton CD locate the folder:
\Programs\TritonSuite\Full or \Min
Double click the .MSI file, follow the default prompts.
From the Triton CD locate the folder:
\Extras\Drivers and 3rd Party Applications\Sentinel Driver
Double click the file Sentinel Protection Installer 7.5.0.exe
You can also download the latest driver from the Safe-Net website:
http://www.safenet-inc.com/support_and_downloads/download_drivers/sentinel_drivers.aspx
See also these instructions on Dongles and Licensing
Follow the prompts, note that you should
remove any USB dongles that are connected and re-connect after installing the driver.On the Seven Cs CD you will find a program called ECK541_WINNT.EXE, double click to install the software, follow all defaults. The installation includes the sentinel driver - BE SURE TO INSTALL THE 7Cs DONGLE DRIVER - we have found that the dongle requires this driver (you will end up with two installed versions of the Sentinel driver but that seems to be OK!)
Note that we are installing the sample charts, the default location for those charts is:
C:\usr\local\data\S57
Copy your Triton license file into this folder on your system:
C:\Program Files\Triton Imaging, Inc\License Files
NOTE: You MUST put your Triton license in this folder
Copy your Seven Cs license into any convenient folder. In the following description the license file is copied into the same folder as the Triton license, but this is not essential.
You must connect both your Triton Sentinel and your Seven Cs sentinel, both may be USB sentinels or the older Parallel /Printer port sentinels, the Rainbow driver will work for both types. You will need at least 2 USB ports if both are USB type.

no messages about missing licenses:

Register.

In the next Select WGS Datum (1984) > Finish
The chart should display in Delphmap:
To display other charts you will need to know which UTM Grid Zone they are in. The SevenCs chart handler program in conjunction with the SevenCs documentation will allow you figure out which charts you need and the UTM zone.
The Chart Handler program is installed with the Seven7cs software.
