OpenCPN Runs on Embedded ARM

[armido]

sevanupola,

I haven't seen any posters in this thread reporting on gps usage with their OpenCPN installations. While I don't believe it should be a major impediment to installing OpenCPN on an android tablet, posters in my thread http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...now-94064.html indicate this THE stumbling block preventing them from doing so. I use 'dropped marks' edited to reflect my gps coordinates. This shows my actual position anytime I feel it is prudent to know. Much easier and accurate than plotting current position on a paper chart.

Maurice, a poster in the thread says he will write an apk to send nmea data to OpenCPN and other programs. His workload and a cold have delayed his doing this, and in his last post said there would be no progress until February. Hoping to hear from him soon. In the meanwhile we have received no offers from anybody else to write an apk capable of delivering 'fake' nmea data - generated from a given position to OpenCPN. This will help OpenCPN users with ROMS that do not handle nmea data well, if at all.

My guidelines for doing what you have apparently figured out how to do yourself without relying on my 'how to' is here: Building on Motorola Xoom | Official OpenCPN Homepage
