OpenCpn now uses O-charts vector charts. For $20 I now have the west coast of Canada in vector charts.

Here are the 3 links to the OpenCpn oeSENC plugin, discussion and purchaes of the charts:
1. OpenCpn Plugin: oeSENC plugins
2. Discussion: OpenCpn Forun. This is a general OpenCpn forum, pick the oeSENC discussion.
3. O-Charts page.

And here's a vidio of how to install the plugin, buy the charts and install them. Installation video.

These are regular S-63 using Hydrographic data.

There is a plugin for raster charts, but o-ocean doesn't have raster charts for Canada yet.

I run the program on 2 ea Windows laptops with Intel I5 processors. One of the laptops is about 8 years on and has been upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. You're allowed 2 ea downloads with each chart purchase.

The whole setup is also available for MAC OS X, Linux and OpenCPN Android v 1.0.13. The setup is free, you only pay for the charts.
