ArcGIS to OpenCPN
Hi all, first time posting here.
I have a very valuable (to me right now ;-) ) set of multi-beam bathymetric data in ArcGIS and I would very much like to display it in OpenCPN as a useful aid to near shore navigation around American Samoa. Unfortunately I've not had any luck figuring out how to output anything from ArcGIS that can be converted to a BSB or KAP format. In fact I can't seem to find anything that converts into a BSB format at all....
I'm sure this isn't something folks are doing every day, but are there any tips out there for how to get this ASCII or geoTIF or other GIS output data format into something a navigation program like OpenCPN can render?
V/R,
Justin Ellis

Re: ArcGIS to OpenCPN
I would contact the developer of this software and see if he can help you.

Re: ArcGIS to OpenCPN
jeellis2, not an ArcGIS user but geoTIF rings a bell. I've converted plenty of those to kaps...
you've probably been here tried this? for geotiffs? A good site...
A Basic Raster Image GeoMetaData Extractor/Viewer
to get the corner calibration points you can use in imgkap...or MapCal2 if that's your pref..

Re: ArcGIS to OpenCPN
Justin..
Here's a way to extract the corner co-ordinates of your geotif.tif files.
You need to download and install listgeo.exe
Use the command line listed in the attachmentto create the coordinates.
Convert your geotif.tif file to .png format with 126 colours using Gimp2.
Then use MapCal2 to convert the ,png image to a .kap file
All the mentioned progs. are free to download from internet.

Re: ArcGIS to OpenCPN
Help anybody!
Having managed to glean the required coordinates from a geotiff file,I do'nt know how to turn the pixel data at the bottom into TL TR BL and BR geo coordinates. And the scale,is it 1:1000000 ?
Any help gratefully accepted...

Try the chart conversion pages on the OpenCPN site.
==> Chart Conversion | Official OpenCPN Homepage
Once you've looked around a bit, ask questions. There are several people in here versed in various areas of producing KAPs.
Of course, the better way would be to delve into the S57 chart standards and create vector charts from your data. But that would require just a wee bit more work...

Re: ArcGIS to OpenCPN
The first step, obtaining an image from shapefiles, can be helped by mapserver, which in console mode can create gif or png files. If you know ArcGIS, it can't be too hard to learn to configure mapserver .map files.
Once you have a gif file, it's easy to convert it ti tiff and follow the steps suggested before.

Re: ArcGIS to OpenCPN
Justin..
If you will email me one of your geotiff files I will see what I can do.

Re: ArcGIS to OpenCPN
Unless further interest is shown,I conclude my contribution to this thread with a bathysphere fishing .kap map of West Florida which can be downloaded here: (76 MB)
Tore
P.S. It is a little skewed. The original geotiff was 330 MB

Re: ArcGIS to OpenCPN
Sorry, I seem to have forgotten the download link to the bathysphere file:
4shared folder - FLORIDA
Large file,76 MB.

Re: ArcGIS to OpenCPN
Justin..
As I was saying,enough is enough,BUT,I couldn't resist this bathymetric .kap from Tutuila, which I believe is YOUR home waters?

Re: ArcGIS to OpenCPN
fyi clean & geo-correct GRASS GIS -> OpenCPN is possible via a GRASS addon module (that just simplifies the prep work, you still have to run the tiff2bsb encoding manually to create the KAP file, if you are legally entitled to do so).
Arc -> GRASS is trivial.
