There are other char plotters for Openplotter - mgrouch - 2020-03-29
I've found two other ChartPlotter programs (apart from OpenCPN) which can run on Openplotter
(or raspbian Buster pi).
The first one is called AvNav
Installation instructions here:
https://bareboat-necessities.github.io/my-bareboat/#_avnav
The second one is QtVlm
Installation instructions here:
https://bareboat-necessities.github.io/my-bareboat/#_qtvlm
Both of them support various char formats, mbtiles, etc.
It would be nice to have an option to install them too in next version on OpenPlotter
Thanks,

We have already an openplotter app for AvNav in the oven: https://github.com/e-sailing/openplotter-avnav
QtVlm is not longer open-source so being coherent with the openplotter policy we can not add this software.

Hello Sailoog.
I just installed this avpackage, it`s webserver defaults to port 8080, and this is allready used by your
installer for FlightAware from the new SDR-Plugin. We do have an small conflict here:
I managed to edit the /home/pi/avnav/data/avnav_server.xml to use port 8082.
Now the avnav service will start without crashing.
This little Problem consists: you call port 8080 in openplotterAvnav.py. Please consider to change one of the ports.
Great Work.
Holger
(PS: i will better put this issure in openplotter-avnav, after rereading this licensing thing.)

I love the look of AvNav and have it installed using OpenPlotter but I get no data however Kip and Freeboard, etc. are fine and the Data Browser shows current data. Not quite sure where to look next and my German is not good enough to contact them directly.
Looking at their Viewer / Status Page I see a few things are Yellow and [6]SocketReader(signalk) is saying "unknown connection" so will chase this down.
UPDATE: changed the AVNSocketReader host to open plotter.local and now it's receiving on 10.10.10.1:55752-10.10.10.1:10110 but still no data in AvNav UI
Any suggestions appreciated.

Not sure is related, but have you confirmed you have the signalK connection for AvNav?
RE: There are other char plotters for Openplotter - e-sailing - 2021-07-23
Avnav does need nmea0183 gps data on 10110 (standard SignalK 0183 port). On the panel side Avnav can also show SignalK data.
I think your gps data is comming from pypilot in SignalK format.
Try to convert SignalK gps to 0183 with the SignalK plugin "signalk-to-nmea0183" (Convert Signal K to NMEA0183).
I think minimum would be to check RMC.
("fromAvnav" is only needed if you want to send RMB sentences from Avnav to SignalK to your autopilot.)
RE: There are other char plotters for Openplotter - philip g taylor - 2021-07-23
My data is sourced via Vesper AIS NMEA 0183 over Wi-Fi TCP rather than Pypilot / SK but will soon be NMEA2000 when my new PICAN-M HAT arrives.
I have a copy of the BBN fork of Lysmarine on another SD card which runs AvNav and has more (but not all) data so I can compare the connection settings however I much prefer Openplotter's modularity and ease of updating and visibility so will persevere.
Thanks to both of you for your troubleshooting suggestions.
UPDATE
Enabling the SK -> nmea0183 plugin and the correct sentences did the trick!!
Thanks very much.
