Re: OpenCPN Radar Overlay PlugIn

Hi Pete,

I'm using the BR24Radar_pi on 64 bit Ubuntu, it works great here.

Re: osm_pi - OpenSeaMap plugin for OpenCPN

My guess is that the 0,0 pixel (upper-left corner) in the icon bitmap is positioned on the actual coordinates, thus the icon will be drawn in a - say - 32x32px square extending down and to the right...

Re: OpenCPN Radar Overlay PlugIn

Cool! Quite thrilled to see the investment paying off - certainly getting more bang for my couple hundred bucks than I would have buying off-the-shelf stuff... ;)

I was planning to buy a Navico radar during a visit to the US, but the trip has been postponed indefinitely. The price of these things here in Europe doesn't make me all warm and fuzzy about forking...

First, let us not forget that OpenCPN is an open source project. Development is being done in people's spare time, because they enjoy it and see a value in contributing.

Re: Navico BR24 Radar - Open Source protocol implementation

Re: OpenCPN Window Minimizes in WIN7

This sounds vaguely familiar - I may have seen it happen with OpenCPN on a Windows machine. I'm not sure my memory isn't playing tricks with me, though.
