Does OpenCPN keeps a Logbook?

[Corsair63]

Apart from Plugin "Loogbook", does OpenCPN keeps log of past position, courses exchanges either any event we could record?

in affirmative case, where is located?

Opencpn saves current position in "opencpn.log" about twice hourly,like this:

10:18:33.681 MESSAGE chart1.cpp:7418 LOGBOOK:  2022-06-19 14:18:33 UTC  GPS Lat   45.59952 Lon  -73.44518 COG ----- SOG   0.00 Nds

It will not be kept for a long time. To find "opencpn.log" Go to "About opencpn". The question mark tool.


For more frequent positions, enable tracking. It will save your tracks until you delete them. You will find them in the Route & Mark Manager
