Re: Icons for OpenCPN

The IHO has a very specific library of symbols that must be used on any chart, whether it's paper or an electronic display. This is so that symbols are common for everyone and also so that there is...

Re: Icons for OpenCPN

While these icons are nice, they will be of limited use within OpenCPN itself. The IHO has very specific symbololgy that can be used for chart displays. You can find this in standard S-52.

I...

Re: Function Query

I'm not sure I understand. S-63 charts aren't generally encrypted for security - they are encrypted as a DRM scheme. If you have the license file and the ability to decrypt them outside of OpenCPN,...

Re: BSB4, 2011 Canadian Chart Problem [PICS]

Yes, they do get pilots but some of our pilot stations are pretty close in - like in the St. Lawrence. And surprisingly large ships will get nervous and tuck into some little nook when a nor'easter...

Re: VSPE to Connect AIS and NMEA Bus to One Serial PC Port

Not to belabour the point, but if you do decide to go USB there are positive locking USB solutions for just that sort of thing. Amphenol LUSB and SeaLatch are two that I've seen used - SeaLatch more...

Re: Two Questions About OpenCPN

I find it interesting that this is of use to pilots. I've had a lot of pilots come aboard my warship, and even navigating in the extremely confined waters of the Saint Lawrence never have I seen any...

Re: VSPE to Connect AIS and NMEA Bus to One Serial PC Port

The idea of a USB hub is a good one. Don't run a serial cable to your helm station at all, run a single USB cable. Have a USB hub at the helm where you plug in two serial-to-usb adapters. Let the...

DNC / VPF Format Digital Nautical Charts

I'm wondering if any consideration has been given to adding support for DNC charts? These are MIL-STD-2407 VPF (Vector Product Format) charts. The base file format is actually more suitable for...

Re: Drawing Tools Under OpenCPN

Formal navigation (and by that I mean the type of navigation you find described in the Admiralty Manual of Navigation) requires a certain amount visual fixes even when using GPS. I can roll off a...

Re: BSB4, 2011 Canadian Chart Problem [PICS]

The issue of chart cost isn't about how much of a lobby group yacht-owners have. In fact it's not about yacht-owners at all. It's about maritime safety. I've boarded a whole lot of merchies, and I...

Re: BSB4, 2011 Canadian Chart Problem [PICS]

I'm quite surprised the charts are encrypted. None of the stuff we get in the navy from CHS is. I guess we're spoiled.

I have to say, though, that it really... really irks me that UKHO and CHS...

Re: Hate to Suggest Android Support, but . . .

Android support would be a huge undertaking. While Android's NDK does allow use of C/C++, it was never intended for entire applications to be native code. It's intended for limited use - to make...

Re: Charts II: NGA - 2700 Charts

It shouldn't be too hard to use Gimp and a fuzzy fill tool to smooth out the artifacts into a uniform colour. Moving to and from an indexed colour mode should also do the job. Make yourself a...

Re: Drawing Tools Under OpenCPN

There are several types of "drawings" I would like to see in OpenCPN:

1) Manual chart corrections/updates (several primitives like line, area, and points)
2) Clearing lines
3) Relative maps...
