Scan Charts & Calibrate into OpenCPN ?
#1
Question 
Hi,

Love OP, but there are (I can find) no charts for OpenCPN for Lisbon and the R. Tejo (Targus) where I sail

What I have done for Pathaway is to scan my paper charts and then calibrate them using the tools on their website.

Is there a nice simple step by step for this for OpenCPN?
If not, some hints so that I can make one?

I much prefer Linux, but can also boot into Windows 10

Thanks

Leigh

Vielen danke!
Obwohl ich habe uberhaupt keine Deutsche seit 10 jahr gesprochen (nur Portuguesich), kann ich ein bischen Deutsch. Habe ich 5 jahren hinten von die oestfriesiche inseln gesegelt, auf Horrumersiel. Tolle segeln, strande, Leute und Jever!
Hat mich errinert von meine heimat am Thamse munding - bin ich eine richtiger Inselaffe Smile

OK now after reading my horrible German you should never worry about writing in English [emoji23] [emoji23]

To add google earth inages, which can be useful as an extra nav source, the venture further opencpn plug is easy to use. Also, ge2kap can convert navionics from sasplanet to raster KAP files. Bit involved but it works for the latest chart data.
