Land "Charts"

Are there any Land "charts" available? I have a good set of CM93 charts, but since they don't showup until you zoom in it would be helpful to have an overview chart with the cities/highways etc.

thanks.

You could use GE2KAP to produce your own Google Earth "charts" of the areas you're interested in.

Charts you get from OpenStreetMap.
Next step is creating tiles and geo-reference those. There should be some tools already available.
And have a look at the OpenCPN manual. It gives some hints and help.

Thanks - I've used GE2KAP which is pretty simple to use. OpenStreetMaps looks good, but the steps are much more complicated.

Also I had missed this page (for others who find this thread later): Chart Conversion | Official OpenCPN Homepage


Thanks!
