Sail Rock 28 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Does anyone know where to download digital charts (RCN) for Fijian waters that are suitable for using with OpenCPN?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 https://opencpn.org/OpenCPN/info/chartsource.html Is the official source list. There are no free charts for Fiji. Some use the pirated cm93 charts. The best way is the s63 charts - see the above link. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marinheiro 352 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Not charts but this app has all the google earth shots of Fiji and shows regular tracks "Atlas of Fiji for Mariners" If your device has in built GPS it will show your track. Use with all the usual cautions... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Opencpn can use google earth sat photos as well. A bit of work to make them into charts, but it's not to hard, and there are some online already done. Refer to the website above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have just downloaded these GE charts for Fiji and Vavau and imported to OpenCPN - it was a doddle. The overlays look good. Soggypaws also has tips on how to create your own GEs so I will give this a go for the rest of Tonga. Cheers SR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
