Google Earth to BSB / KAP

[phiggins]

GE2KAP.V34.0.0.9 is now available. I has the new plugin for OpenCPN V4.99 and above. You can get by clicking the "Check For Updates" on the Option panel of an older version or from the Downloads page of my website Sample

Paul,
Could you help me ? I try to transform to .kap a small Navionics chart opened through sasplanet. I obtain two files : a jpg and a kml.
In the left page of Ge2kap I write the place where I want that my .kap file arrive. In the right page I indicate the place where are my .jpg and .kml files.
And the reply is : Create_charts_Extract_Path failed
Erreur Echec du calibrage.
Could you indicate me where I made some mistake ?
Thanking you beforehand for your help.

[lapache]

I try to send you a picture :

lapache,
To create a .kap chart from SasPlanet, simply position SasPlanet to the place you want to create a chart, fill in the location\name (like) you did, then press Create Chart. Do not put anything in the Path Polygon field (the top field of the right panel, just have sasplanet in the Overlay field like you have.

SailorF54,

Try my version it has Navionics working plus C-Map. Download it from the following link. Don't forget to change the "Use SAsP Cache" to the location of the of the new sasplanet directory. If you want to use the cache from the old version, Cut the cache directory from the old sasplanet directory an Paste it into the new one.

Many thanks for your reply. I will try this and come back if I dontt have any result.

SailorF54,

My version seems to have lost the Navionics charts too. Even on the latest nightly. Hopefully they return soon.

Hi Paul


I wonder if we understand each other.

Navionics display fine on the latest nightly build.
You have to download the sas.plus.map folder here

https://bitbucket.org/sas_team/sas.plus.maps/downloads/
(and while at it, the sas map.maps as well
https://bitbucket.org/sas_team/sas.maps/downloads/


My problem seems to be at the 'save to' stage in the 'stitch' process of GE2KAP (as seen in the log and pic here)

[phiggins]

SailorF54,
Sorry misunderstood you.
Yes I see it fails trying to set the Save to Field when it trys to enter ".\_temp_SasPlanet2_Save_1550678187.bmp" it instead puts in ".\_temp_SasPlaneté_Save_&((à-è_&_è.bmp" which I think has to do with the French language but I don't know why.

Long ago I use to do a Paste into this field, now I type into it. Probably that is the cause. I will change back to Paste and send and let you try it. Email me your email address. Mine is in the Help.

[phiggins]

SailorF54,
Could copy the following and paste it into the Selection manager's Stitch, Save to field and see if it is correct:
.\_temp_SasPlanet2_Save_1550678187.bmp

.../QUOTE]


On a French keyboard, writing numerals requires pressing the Shift Key (as for upper case letters)

so

2_Save_1550678187
gets translated as

é_Save_&((à-è_&_è
as their lower-case equivalents
see pic
Having a string a letters instead would solve the problem...

[phiggins]

OK thanks. Does pasting it in work?

SailorF54,

Replace the GE2KAP.rex in your GE2KAP.V34.0.0.9 directory with the one from this link and see if it fixes your problem:
