Marine protocols c++ library

[mgrouch]

Would this library

https://github.com/mariokonrad/marnav

Be more complete than what OpenCPN is using currently?

Would it make sense to switch OpenCPN to use that library?


Thanks,

Pavel has referred to this or starred in his repository and I've known about it for. quite awhile, and I believe many others have known about this too.

On face value, it looks current and pretty complete, but it does say "Partial" !! The Goals look good and it does have an api.

Sentences recommend not to implement for new systems

It supports (partially):

• NMEA-0183
• AIS
• SeaTalk (Raymarine device communication)
• Reading data from serial ports (NMEA, SeaTalk)
• Basic geodesic functions, suitable for martime navigation.

The questions that need to be asked:

Where else is this being used. What software and what have the results been?

What is going to break and how much work will it be to sort it out again, when it is working now?

Granted it is a protocol, but O has responded to and sorted issues that this may not have dealt with.

What is going to be gained by implementing this?

Who is going to do it?

What do you know about it since you have brought it up?

I hope and am sure others will have thoughts about this too, but perhaps it would be a reasonable thing to do, but it won't happen in this cycle for sure.

I would venture to say that is it not more complete insofar as NMEA0183.
Sean is also following him as is Pavel. He has several other interesting programs including grib and vhf-sim.
I believe there may be some good Nav programs using gt5 that use this library


Perhaps Gribweather and QtVlm but this is unconfirmed. Does anyone know?
