I tried to convert the free raster charts for NZ using the converter in Windows but it failed on a couple of files and then stopped processing the rest - any chance that there could be an option added to skip files with errors? Charts are available hereĀ https://www.linz.govt.nz/sea/charts/information-about-charts#nzmarinerBasically NZ chartset can be converted.For this you have to delete all non KAP files (txt, pdf,bsb) from BSB_ROOT. Tried this. resulting GEMF is really big (even split into 2 files). What I don't like is "quilted" view.
Thanks. Yes I found that was the reason and converted on file successfully. I don't need a full set, or at least not at any one time so I think I can split it up into subsets. The quilted view is a problem. I'll look into some way of stripping of the borders etc.. OCPN manages so must just display the chart bounds and apply transparency to the borders or something
I'm getting there. I like the idea of a server based system. I'll be giving it a trial run on a two week trip in may so will let you know how it goes.
Cheers
