Hi. I am planning to manage some OpenCPN features charging the software on a Raspberry 4B and using Pypilot on my boat. For this purpose I would need to charge Navigation Charts specific for Italy but not available at the moment ( neither a possible availability in the near future is expected) . I am so trying to know if there are any Navigation Charts compatible with OpenCPN software to be installed on Raspberry Pi devices in order to be able to use my Pypilot function over Italy ( specifically Mid Tirrein coastal sea) zones.
Your advices are very appreciated.
Best regards
Francesco

I work at o-charts.
oeSENC charts for Italy are no longer available due to administrative issues with Italian authorities. The required economic conditions make that not sustainable.
Alternatives right now are S63 charts (very expensive) or the old and obsolete CM93

I bought two S63 charts from ChartWorld but I have troubles to charge and read them on OpecCPN. I don't know why but the Charts Bar doesn't show the S63 button . According to ChartWorld instructions I have downloaded the attached FTP files and I have put them in a Pi directory on my Raspberry, but I am not able to open the files using any of the buttons available on the Charts bar. I hope not to be obliged to create on my own the S3 Plugin , because the procedure seems to be complex and I am not confident to get a wright result. Could I try a procedure to open the S3 files only using the bar buttons now available without installing a S3 plugin?
Could anyone help me for solving my issue?
I thank you very much,
best regards,
Francesco

S63 plugin should be in the list after updating the catalogue. Write to o-charts in case you can not see it.
