Re: opencpn Charts

Don't use outdated maps for navigation. The map of Spain including the Canarian Islands costs only 16.90 €.

Re: Plotting Questions; Radar ranges; magnetic compass bearings; positions on Open CP

I have a radar, but it is not connected to OpenCPN.

Re: Plotting Questions; Radar ranges; magnetic compass bearings; positions on Open CP

It is however becoming more and more frequent...

Re: Spurious track points when merging

I was not aware that I could merge the tracks in OpenCPN before now :thumb:.
I have previously exported GPX and edited the file, and I get this behaviour if I merge the tracks in the wrong order...

Re: Radar recommendation

Sailed 82 nm along the coast of Norway last night. Even if the visibility was good, radar was very helpful. I detected all boats on the radar before I could see them. Only about half of the boats...

Re: Weather Routing

The reason i had set a high tacking time was that when sailing along the shore i need small timesteps i order to not get "stuck" in the islands. Then the I got routes with tack every 15 min, and that...

Re: Weather Routing

I was not able to reproduce the error with tacking time set to 0.

Re: Weather Routing

I get a bit confused by my weather routing results. The boat speed is much higher than the one I specified in the polar. See the example below. This is a simple polar for motoring with max speed of 7...
