OenCPN Chart source for Canada? (PNW) - steved - 2024-01-13
Hello,
Looking at ChartDownloader, there are quite a few decent-quality free charts that are available in the US and elsewhere.
However, either Canada does not have a coastline or they are not available. Does anyone have suggestions for chart sources in Canada, specifically the PNW area? (Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii etc)
Thank you in advance for taking the time to respond.
Cheers,
Steve

You can make your own mbtiles from Navionics, cmap and satellite images. Sat images can be great often if the water is clear.

Hi PaddyB,
Thank you TONS!
I found an additional resource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmLm1A4INQI
Similar information presented by another person. I spent the evening downloading and experimenting with getting these charts. FANTASTIC! Exactly what I was looking for.
Appreciate you taking the time to answer.
Cheers,
Steve

I have the o-charts for Pacific Canada.
They work fine.

I got mine here back in 2022, very satisfied I think they were much cheaper back then... ?
