Hey Folks,
I know there's a lot of open source
chartplotter software out there, such as
OpenCPN, but I'm hoping to find something more specific. Is there a way to automatically get these programs to output a png, jpg or gif file on demand, based off of
GPS coordinates? I ask because I'm building a small display for the
boat, and would much prefer a nautical chart over a regular
google maps one, and to not rely on an
internet connection. Ideally, this is to serve over a tcp connection to a kindle to display along with speed and course.
I of course, have multiple backups, this is just a fun side-project. Here's an example of what I have so far:
Bad Wolf
This grabs my latest
GPS coordinates from the APRS netowkr (Ham
Radio network), and populates the website on-demand with the closest tidal station,
google maps and
weather.
