You have the kap2vrt.2.py file correct? You need to either have kap2vrt.2.py in the current directory you are running the command from. Or copy the file to a directory in you PATH. I would copy it to the same directory where gdal2tiles.py lives.

Will thank you very much, you actually prompted me to again remove all versions of OSGEO and do a fresh install, I am happy now since that cured the ordinal 32 not found error and I can do all of this via command line now....

But...this is weird I have windows 7 and when I enter the command kap2vrt.2.py --cut 11405_1.KAP in the command window, it opens the kap2vrt.2.py in Notepad!......

Am I entering the command wrong? I have tried everything to try and get it to stop doing that, I even went into my registry to the file extensions for windows explorer and deleted the keys for the .py extension that even mentioned notepad.

I finally got things squared away with the .py scripts opening in notepad.

I also discovered that I needed to build a batch file to run the .py scripts so I built one to run the kap2vrt.2.py script and called it kap2vrt, but when I ran the script it gave me this error:

 
C:\charts\Rastor\11405>kap2vrt --cut 11405_1.kap
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\gdal-16\bin\kap2vrt.2.py", line 123, in <module>

    return list(chain.from_iterable(listOfLists))
AttributeError: type object 'itertools.chain' has no attribute 'from_iterable'

Just for the heck of it I tried the bsb2gdal.py, built a batch file and got it to work, not sure why kap2vrt would not work.......

Hi alaska_av8r! Sorry I didn't followed this thread closely, but I see you've already posted at the talk.maemo.org.

In the essence kap2vrt is ancient. Use bsb2gdal, etc from talk.maemo.org.

Cheers

A new version of these scripts are available from here: tilers-tools - Project Hosting on Google Code

Among the things it has a brand new tile cutter!

This looks good. I've no programming skills to speak of but I've managed to plot my position using a GPS dongle via Bluetooth and Navigator. Then I scanned a few charts and pinned them as overlays onto Google Earth. I haven't made any long passages using this yet but so far it looks like a goer. Then I found GRIB files for wind and tidal streams and I'm itching to get them plotted. Just need to convert GRIBs to .kml and I'd be a very happy bunny! And the routing programs are awesome.
