Thanks for the reply, I think you're right, it's easy already to run a command from an action, there's an open door for anyone to get in straight away and tweak.
I suspect a lot of people will end using OP with an android tablet, already the integration seems easy and solid. (though I've had problems with the vnc server, is there the way to keep an eye on that and restart if necessary? )
This morning I started with the Tasker android app, which seems very powerful but certainly isn't intuitive to start with. But despite that, already all I need to do is tap a button on the tablet screen and it will back up the tablet Opencpn navobject.xml file with routes, tracks etc into a seperate directory with a date stamp, the ssh into the Pi and copy the openplotter navobject.xml file to the tablet, so any routes created on the Pi are instantly synced onto the tablet. Plus it should be possible for tasker to look at both files and sync if there are changes.
There are so many powerful tools out there and some very clever people around. The future is bright
