I want to create my own map to use in
openCPN, i thought there would be TONS of simple plugins or websites or android apps to do this but I cant find even one. Everything I can find isnt as simple as I'd think it should be... and seems to be set up for professional aerial photographers.
Has anyone else here found a simple way to use an image (and I assume 2 GCPs) to make a chart for use in
OpenCPN?
Living in the midwest, I have seen TONS of JPG and PNG maps that I could use in areas that have no respective nautical chart...
For example, my local lake has a "fishing map" that is a soundings chart... i've scanned it in, and I've got sets of coordinates... I'm just frustrated by how the simple App I've imagined isn't something that's already been created by a bunch of people.
Image + two sets of
GPS coordinates to orient the map = raster? What am I missing? Is this something someone here could create?
I imagine this would be very popular (lucrative) with backcountrynavigator users also, as there are lots of park trail maps done this way.
