ENC charts do not display for second user

I’m running OCPN v.5.2.4 on a Windows10 PC with two users: "Master" (with Administrator privileges) and "Navigator" (as a regular user with no Administrator privileges). OCPN was installed by Master and works perfectly for him/her.

However, when logged on as Navigator, OCPN launches fine, but ENC charts do not render in detail and the only thing visible is the vessel position plotted on the vector basemap. RNC charts, on the other hand, work fine.

So far as I can tell, the configurations in the Charts tab is identical for both users, and OCPN is pointed to the same common chart libraries for both users.

Any idea what may be amiss?

The first thing to check is if "Navigator" has the necessary permissions to read for the folder where the ENC charts are installed.
Read the opencpn.log file. It should give you a hint about possible problems.

Re: ENC charts do not display for second user

In windows, if more than one user needs to access any of your charts, you must put them in a folder under;


C:\users\public\appdata\opencpn


If they are under any other "user" folder, only that named "user" will have access.


Putting them under "public" is how you give everyone access.
