Hi Jim,
The CPN community was gathering 2700 world charts posted on the
Internet into a single source file when a US govment agency trashed
the effort... or something like that. You need to read a few pages at
the beginning and near the end of the thread to get the jist.

great guys and a valiant effort... for naught perhaps.
Cheers, Russ

What world chart issue is/was this?

Hey Joe,
I've used the old CPN on a Panasonic CF-48 (race boat) and Thinkpad
42 (my boat), XP SP2 or 3, with okay results for the geek oriented.
Sometimes it would need some coaching on the comm ports for GPS &
AIS data. So it wasn't good for the skipper who has the CF-48
onboard. He also has a plotter so it was a minor irritation.
I am looking forward to getting both machines loaded with the
current OpenCPN, with AIS. I also have the CM-93 to install (for
evaluation purposes). Hopefully all this is done before the VanIsle360 starts.
Too bad their world chart effort hit the ditch last year.
Cheers, Russ

I just upgraded the boat computer from a ThinkPad 600E to 600X*. Now
I am cruising with Pentium III power instead of Pentium II I can get
OpenCPN working quite well. Anyone else using it? I really like the
tides, currents, and AIS functions. I still don't like ENC charts
much, but the raster charts work great.
* for $45 shipped. Thanks FleaBay!
