Vector charts

Dear all, from our user community we have been asked to explore the possibilities to add the Estonian Vector charts to the available portfolio of OpenCPN. Just to introduce us: OpenCPN, the free and open Plotter and Navigation program (opencpn.org), is developed and supported by its developer and user community from all over the world and can be used on a broad range of devices starting from RasberryPies up to networked works stations under Windows, Linux or macOS. An Android version is in place as well. Our wild estimate tells us that we have more than 250.000 users. Renate Rosner Consult S.L. is representing the OpenCPN developer community where required - for example as S-63 OEM at the IHO - and licenses as such chart material for OpenCPN from various Hydrographic Offices like BSH, UKHO or SHOM and NMA. We are about to close contracts with Denmark, Sweden, Italy and the Australian Hydrographic Service. The Norwegian and German charts have found a great welcome from our users and hence they urge us to include more Scandinavian and Baltic countries. The publishing of the licensed chart material is realized under the commercial name of o-charts and you will find our actual chart portfolio at o-charts.org We would like to learn what would be the most appropriate way to give access to your charts to a user group that mainly consists from leisure sailors, who, as you will know, are very cost conscious and therefore not able to enter in cost schemes like those for S-63 - with few exceptions. We will be happy to discuss with you the possible solutions. With best regards Hubert Kleis -- Hubert Kleis rr-consult Edif. B6 - Parc Med. de la Tecnologia Av.
