If you have any questions about the VF side of things just let me know. Now these depths are immediately available to anyone. Click the record button, stop it and save. you need only one over of AIS WiFi enabled APPs such as iSailor, SEAiq, iNavX. The recording.upload might sound difficult but it is not. These depths are then available online and as an overlay on the KAP. SEAiq works like most iPad apps using the standard gestures for panning, zooming, and rotating the display. When you upload the NMEA stream, VF grabs the current state of the tide and then loads your depths into the database (with your transducer offset in your VF profile). Navigate Tab The Navigate Tab is used to display the current sets of charts along with any additional objects, such as waypoints, routes, AIS targets, and your vessels position. IF you have depths coming in to OpenCPN then these are recorded. It is the only marine navigation app that allows you to load your own charts in a variety of standard formats, including: S-57, S-63, iENC, BSB, and KAP. seaiq open now supports formats including s 57, s 63, inland enc, cm93. On VF I allow uploads of NMEA data recorded by the OpenCPN VDR plugin (really an easy plugin to use). SEAiq is a full-featured marine navigation app. For the seaiq open version, you can load charts in the kap and bsb formats. Here is where using a web server to build the KAP gets interesting. coasts, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, the Hawaiian Island chain as far as Midway, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas Islands. So, the plugin does need an internet connection to GET the image, but once it loads the KAP it works just the same as GE2KAP. The Chart Downloader feature included with OpenCPN 4.2 and above, will help you download, update and organize most of these free chart sources: NOAA Office of Coast Survey - free U.S. I am a full time cruising sailor and I develop VF part time. Also KAP creation being server based this plugin also works on Linux (and cross your fingers, hopefully on Android). If User Permitis Unregistered then press Registerbutton (must be connected to the internet). The API that Mike used to request the KAP has been around for about 3 years now and is also used by SEAiq (navigation app on the iPAd, Mac and Android) and now OpenCPN. In SEAiq: Go to Settings / IHO S-63 Charts. I also purposely built it to be simple and fast to use. Creating KAPs is also available directly on with no software to install and will work on any computer platform. The biggest difference I see is with VF the creation of the KAP happens on a web server. Is this new plugin the same as GE2KAP, well as they say in Thailand "same, same but different". Hi all, Jon from VentureFarther (WF) here. If the developer could provide a good integration/complement to OpenCpn I think there would be lots of interest.Add some pages to repeat NMEA data and you could.
