I believe Simon is referring to the chips you insert into a gps. Best guess why they have stopped selling the chips is they aren't very accurate and therefore more dangerous than helpful since large ships will rely on the bad info and get themselves into trouble.
For navigating the waters of Belize you need a combination of those charts, the cruising guide, the most recent GPS chip, good local knowledge and most importantly your eyes.
