OpenSeaMap Chart Missing Info

[UptownVoodoo]

We’ve downloaded the chart package for the Caribbean from OpenSeaMaps and after unzipping then loading the directory to OpenCPN, it appears that marine information is missing. The landforms show detail, but there is no detail given for the marine areas. Could someone please advise if there is a setting we need to toggle to ensure all info is displayed? Or otherwise a fix to make these “charts” usable? Thanks in advance!

This is what OpenSeaMap is, these are no navigation charts and there is no more information than what you see.
You can get real up to date charts for Caribbean usable in OpenCPN at https://o-charts.org/shop/index.php?...duct&id_lang=4

OpenSeaMaps is crowd-sourced information. If no one has recorded and uploaded the details, then they won't be there. There are a few places (mostly in Europe) where a fair amount of detail is available, but elsewhere, not so much. As you have observed, in the Caribbean, almost none.
