OpenCPN is +developed by a team of active sailors using real world conditions for +program testing and refinement. + +This plugin is designed to allow users to place objects/items on the OpenCPN +interface and have these georeferenced. This allows the objects/items to move +with the chart and have a definined Latitude and Longitude. There are two +basic types of object/item that can be used: points and paths. + +Points are very similar to Waypoints and mark locations on the chart. +Paths joint two or more points together and draw a line between them. +Currently these Points exist: Boundary Point, Text Point, +Electronic Brearing Line (EBL) Point, Dead Reckoning (DR) Point. + +These Points are used to construct special types of Paths: Boundary, +Electronic Bearing Line (EBL) and Dead Reckoning (DR). |
