Rick (& Dave), I feel really embarrassed. And the professional tester in me is even more embarrassed. I did see this, I really did.:peace:

But I can no longer reproduce the problem, & I've worked...

Re: Help / FAQ

Does anyone know if there's something inherent in OpenCPN that prevents it from displaying an mbTile that crosses the 180?

I'm making mbTiles of Fiji, & the 180 cuts through the right end of Fiji...

Re: Help / FAQ

You're welcome, Steve.

Our charts don't exactly "overlay" other charts, but by using "Chart Groups" you can quickly switch between charts with just a single keystroke. This is MUCH easier than...

Graham, in your Options/Connect dialog, do you have the "Control checksum" box checked?

Re: Help

Bimbadeen, as BarcoMeCasa pointed out, satellite imagery is often much better than vector charts. I can show you places where even the latest CM93v2 vector charts are out by a full mile.

Hi John. First, welcome to CF! We hope we can help you.

I don't know Ubuntu, but I assume the OpenCPN UI is similar to Windows. The reason you're showing up at 0/0 lat/lon is because the GPS...

Pelagia, I'm finding lots of "File Manager" apps, but not "File Manager +". Can you tell us who makes it? Or maybe provide a link?

Thanks!

Jeff, we're on the road & I don't have my nav-computer with me.

I *think* it's called GPS-Gate, but I'm not sure. It sort of looks like trial-ware, but we've been running it for several years.

Nothing at all wrong with this, Jeff. In fact, this is what we've been doing for several years, since 2019.

When doing this, you will probably find that a wider-screen computer is better. We use a...

Light Bulbs, OpenCPN doesn't come with charts - it's a chart display program.

To get the multiple contour lines that you see with Navionics "Sonar-Charts" or CMap "HBR" charts, you have to use...

Re: Help / FAQ

Is there anything else I can do?

It's obviously the display thread that's doing a whole lot of something & saturating that core. 3 seconds at 2GHz is a LOT of processing. The actual screen...
