Hi All,
Now that I have a
boat, and have read about as much as I can digest on the subject above, I have decided to go with it as one of the nav systems on board. It all (for now) seems straightforward enough and won't break the bank.
But a question: does Openplotter run on the Pi as an OS or is it an all-inclusive program that can be opened up in say, Raspbian? Apparently Raspberry can only boot up to one OS at a time!
Initially, I believe I will only use the Raspberry for
OpenCPN and ZyGrib, maybe I'll add a USB
AIS later - once I've researched their capabilities a little better. As I understand it,
OpenCPN and ZyGrib will run as their own programs within Raspbian. If I went this
route, this would also allow the Raspberry to be used as a normal system if wanting to quickly browse the net or pen a few emails. Can that be done in Openplotter too?
Any input would be greatly appreciated
Best,
SN.
