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

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.

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