Help need for Europe river charts
#4
@shark24

For the Rhine i do not make me much headache. My boat is 9.60 Steel flat bottom steel boat with a 32 horsepower engine from 1959 Mercedes OM636 Diesel engine.
Top Speed 11km on the water and i will come forward the Rhine with approx 2km at least. For this i take 4 weeks and i have Navionics and Navship also. Inside Germany i will have in General Internet but if i get instructions how to make charts for Openplotter i will give them for free integration. I am aware of the deficits on Maps.

For the moment i need anyways some help. Vessel is on a privat place close to the Venlo cyachting club. I will put the engine out of the boat but i do not have a driving license and no car. 15 km away is in Germany a pensioneer that helps me to check the engine and there so the idea since i did join openplotter i will fix the parts like RPM and temperature and so on

The target on this journey is mainly how to make this tour on the lowest financial level that is possible with reasonable security.

Do not worry after Bingen the tour for this boat will be more easy. I will have a outboard 5 horsepower Yamaha for security and when i am going down Danube River parts will go with electro engine outboard just not to take Diesel.
Solar Plattform of 480 Watt, MPPT Charge Controler and Batteries will help. All the time i was thinking about to use a victron but i guess i will take a EPSolar because i can more easy integrate in Openplotter with the RS485.

My route is very clear most limit in the finance as possible and things you can do yourself should not be bought.

OK i like to give back and if i need things like a airmar p66 or airmar DST800 to join the Waterdeap project of openseamap to give something back to the community than such things are not inside the official financial plans integrate. But it will give me pain that i am in danube delta at least and the only that do meassure regular data.

First i was thinking to go the way belgium but their restrictions i have to use VHF is changing my plans in this direction. OK in Case my boat realy do not can pass the Rhine i will go back and take the way Belgium next year. But at least the Rhine is for my plan the most heavy part. I take 4 Weeks for this and will see.

This trip in the way how i plan it is something like a proof of concept for me. Openstreetmap offers from level 17 only petrol stations. When i know how to make charts and change them i take them from level 17 to level 12.
