Free Software of interest to OpenCpn users.

ImageCal(Image calibration software for Windows)
ImageCal allows you to calibrate images to generate .kap raster charts, a format supported by OpenCpn.
MapKap( .map to .kap conversion for Windows)
MapKap allows you to convert OziExplorer .map files / images into .kap raster charts, a format supported by OpenCpn. Converts all .map files found in the selected folder.
You can download the software from www.bebinka.net were you can find additional information of interest. The software is free of charge. Enjoy

Re: Free Software of interest to OpenCpn users.

Alan,
Don't remove it. It's fine. I've posted this info under Supplimental in the User Manual.
with a link to your website.

Not here NMEA Instruments | Official OpenCPN Homepage
but here
imgkap and the kap file | Official OpenCPN Homepage
thiis sub page
Chart Conversion | Official OpenCPN Homepage

I've also suggested that Sean look at your EzWind which would be a companion to his Weatherfax_pi

Additionally I made a like for your cheap Ship Alarm here.
A cheap ship alarm system

Your how to load only the CM93 charts you need might also be useful to someone

Alan,
The developers are always interested in ways to improve the program. There are several ways to do this:
1. In the forum, under http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...sts-30931.html
2. In Tracker, (you need to register first) under
OpenCPN | Official OpenCPN Homepage
upper right tab Tracker

Alan, It's a great little program. Are you planning to allow borders in the map calibration in the near future?

Thanks for posting it.

Another lost website


You may find some of what you are looking for at the last Wayback Machine copy (from 2018):
(but you won't get to any linked software files )

Re: Free Software of interest to OpenCpn users.

I thought those software packages were still available.

See:
