Holland TSS

[bri]

Hi All
From the 1st of August, the TSS around holland will be changing. As I cant update my charts I'm running on Opencpn, is there a way to add these changes to the traffic lanes?? or is someone working on an add on??
thanks
Brian

Brian...
Is there some info available somewhere? NTMs with the coordinates of the new scheme at least? We can sure invent something, but have to have look at the information...

Here is a charlet of the coming change.

Many Netherlands' charts can be viewed here for free
GeoGarage - Route Preparation
(click Netherlands in 'content settings', full screen, (F11 for an even larger view on PC)
These charts are not yet updated

OK, here's what I got from the pdf - not that bad for what it should serve for... Download the attached file, remove the .doc and unzip to where your charts are.
For those interested how this was done, I opened the PDF in Inkscape, deleted what was not needed, rotated 90 degrees, exported to PNG at 600 DPI and converted using

./imgkap -n -p MAP -t "Dutch North Sea TSS scheme after 2013-08-01" dutch_tss.png 53.166383 2.550566 51.508297 4.664382 dutch_tss.kap

If someone is really bored, the new TSS could be drawn using tracks on top of this chart and saved as GPX to be used as a layer...

Enjoy

Hi Pavel
Afraid I havent located the co-ordinates for the new lanes yet but I am hoping to go down the layer route, if someone would have the knowledge to make a layer, that would be fantastic.
Afraid im not very good with computers otherwise I would give it a go, I beleive the new charts are coming out as we speak.
thanks
