For anyone that is using this; If you do this download, then do you have to download the charts separately? Is there some kind of a tutorial that shows how to use it? Where?

OK, I did that and this is what I found. Looks like the "free version" is a bootleg version and I'm stuck with buying the Open Captain ap in order to get the new update and have it work.

Is anybody using the Open Captain? Especially in the BC waters? How well does it work, (accuracy for tides and currents etc.) are they in the ball park?

I use MX Mariner for my Android tablets. It has Active Captain markers and info and does everything I need. Uses NOAA charts among others. Unfortunately does not seem to do Canadian charts (last time I checked).

I use Open CPN in Canadian waters on a laptop with some older raster charts (I think they are a digitised version of the official Canadian charts).
Its my first chart plotter so I dont have much to compare it to, but it works fine, seamlessly (ish) quilting the charts as you cross from one to the next.
I dont get any chart updates though.
My favourite feature of the set up is the 17'' screen!!!

I am trying to figure out:
1. With Active Captain do I need to have a chart already on the tablet and then the ap works over/with that chart?
2. With Open Captain, do I need to have a separate chart on the tablet first?
3. Mx mariner, from what I could learn it does not work to go north of the USA/Canada boarder -- not charts from Canada.
