Q on OpenCPN. How do I get boat navigation vector maps for Päijänne-Keitele? Heard one could download from Traficom the raw data and then somehow convert it to OpenCPN format? Anyone here with experience? Or even ready-made stuff? #opencpn #päijänne #keitele #vectormaps #navigation #boat #boating

Very cool stuff! I was hoping that something like this was out there, but, I kept hearing references to Navionics and Garmin (ugh!), and never to something open. I am delighted to discover that I won't be limited to proprietary, locked down, software.

There's even a #NixPkg for it search.nixos.org/packages?show

Kann mir von der #Segel - Bubble jemand was empfehlen:
Ich habe auf dem Laptop #opencpn eingerichtet, um bei wechselnden Charterbooten meine eigene Dokumentation der Törns und der Törnplanung zu haben.
GPS-Antenne via USB ist vorhanden, ich such nur jetzt noch nach einem preisgünstigen, portablen Weg, auch AIS-Informationen in mein System zu bekommen. (Opencpn ist kompatibel mit USB-Geräten, die beispielsweise nach NMEA Standard übertragen). Hat jemand nen guten Hardware-Tipp?

Any #opencpn users out there that could explain to me why I can't use 4 shades of depths and I'm unable to have depth areas deeper than 5 m shaded white? Finnish oeSENC charts.

this is absolutely fabulous for charting a course and tracking your position using #OpenCPN using a #raspberrypi

You can either use the Raspberry OS images or customize your image with the OpenPlotter À la Carte tool openmarine.net/openplotter

@governa very useful for those of us looking to use #RaspberryPi5 on boats for navigation etc with #OpenCPN
It does mean that for @SustainableSailing we will be using #Debian as our first choice distribution.

Sensible sentiments, I feel the same unease when I go outback and see the queues of satellite traffic lining up across the starry night www.cruisingworld.com/people/m… although perhaps easier to disconnect when we have financial safety.
Bruce also runs this which might be handy:

Chart plotter running OpenCPN on a Raspberry Pi is working great. Have on big screen inside, at the chart table and a smaller touch screen outside.

Computer screen with marine chart in companionway of a boat.

I'm hoping that we can connect with people about #RaspberryPi #OpenCPN and #SignalK on here.
We want these to be at the heart of tech on our boat for #Sustainable #Sailing #Navigation for cost, freedom and reliability.
