Help loading raster charts

Hi,

I upgraded from OPENCPN v.2 to V4.8.8. The BSB V4 Raster charts from the DVD did not survive the upgrade.

Can someone please outline the procedure for installing and activating these charts from the cd or directory?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Help loading raster charts

Perhaps you just need to update (i.e. download and install) the plug-in for BSB ver 4 raster charts?

I enabled the BSB raster plug in and even turned cpn off and on. Still no charts. Do I need to do anything else?

Have you read the manual?

Also....there is a lot written about the BSB4 plugin on this forum. Use the search function!
