  1. Back when I was doing my anchor practice, I was annoyed that I couldn't figure out how to load the anchor plugin in #OpenCPN , so I had to download a stand alone Android app.

    Now I figured out my mistake. There is no separate Anchor alarm in OpenCPN. It's part of the WATCHDOG: Navigation Alarms plugin opencpn-manuals.github.io/main

  2. Onko täällä ketään joka osaisi auttaa avoimen traficomin raakakarttadatan muuttamisessa OpenCPN vektoriformaattiin?

    Tarvitsisin Päijänne-Keitele vesistön merikartat. Niitä ei kai saa kaupallisesti sopivassa formaatissa mitenkään. Edes OpenSeaMap.bitmap-karttoja ei Päijänteelle saa.

  4. A fun little project this last weekend! Mainly a good excuse to practice some CAD work.

    It's a 7" touchscreen with a raspberry pi 4 running open plotter and openCPN. It's a prototype for the head unit for my navigation station on my boat.

    The final one will likely be a 10" touchscreen. Not waterproof, but water resistant. And then likely a waterproof android tablet for the cockpit.

    I will likely use the prototype in the vbearth for keeping an eye on things.

  5. OpenCPN question. How do I get boat navigation vector maps for Päijänne-Keitele?

    Heard one could download from Traficom the raw data and then somehow convert to the OpenCPN format? Anyone here with experience? Or even ready-made stuff?

  7. #OpenCPN (Chart Plotter #Navigation) opencpn.org/index.html

    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

  8. 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?

  9. @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.

  10. 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. #cruisingLife #raspberryPi #opencpn

  11. 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.

  12. OpenCPN is cross-platform free and open source Chart Plotter Navigation software developed by sailors squeet.me/objects/962c3e100293
