Re: OpenCPN plugin for Bridge Command use
Data that can be sent as NMEA should be readily visible in OpenCPN.
A couple of years ago I played with a flight simulator, viewing the scenarios in OpenCPN. Sounds similar. Some screenshots can...

Re: OpenCPN Beta test 4.1.925 Release
I've used OCPN 4.1.925 on a much larger than usual monitor: 2560x1600. On my simple laptop, NO OpenGL, 1280x800, no problems at all.
I attach the result of CM93 without OpenGL.

Re: AIS ZIG-ZAG
Yes, it does look similar, but in my case all other parameters (COG, HDG, SOG,...) are transmitted without such "jumping" effect. Indeed one would have to look into the transponder code...

Re: AIS ZIG-ZAG
I have such a case recorded, so I could look at it with a couple of plotters and tools... I am pretty confident the zig-zag occurs at the transmitting side. Of course, it much less visible at higher...

Re: route manager

I have posted #FS1719, "Allow any C class talker to send DSCDSE". It seems about a two-keystroke change, so maybe some maintenance release will allow you to test your set directly with OCPN...
