![]() Any users of the plotter care to say where they get charts from? Or is it only any use when cruising where charts aren't copyright? Well, OpenCPN can work with a variety of Raster format charts - which you can either purchase, or create by scanning paper charts and calibrating them. Having looked at the Open CPN documentation I don't see any source for charts of UK waters. Why not just download them for 'planning purposes'? For Bahamas, Exumas etc we have a full set of Garmin charts on dedicated plotters, so again no need to resort to the CM93s. In our case they are not actually used for navigation, since we do have the USA ones and are not outside of USA waters to need the CM93s other than for interest these days. ![]() ![]() That said I do have also the worldwide CM93/2 ones from Jan 2010 downloaded, along with millions of other peeps. ![]() Cheers Our cruising ground now is in Uncle Sam's territory so we have all the USA charts and pilots in both raster and vector formats totally free of charge.:) No updating ever required, just download new charts as you need them and OpenCPN (fantastic program) selects the latest one from your folio to use.
