Hiya,
When I loose power to my Pi running OpenPlotter, I also loose the OpenCPN config....
Next time I boot the Pi everything has gone and its like you are starting OpenCPN for the first time.
Has anyone else solved this issue?
Kind regards
Jason

Hello - you have to quit OpenCPN gracefully - and give it some Time to save his Config.
It shows the grey Screen of shutting down if you hit the CloseBox.
Sometimes it is really usefull to have an Backup of its config handy - so make one now:
cp -R /home/pi/.opencpn /home/pi/.opencpn-backup
to restore:
mv ~/.opencpn ~/.opencpn-bad
cp -R ~/.opencpn-backup ~/.opencpn
