    Orca navigation app is simple and super easy to use. The charts look great. Syncs with all the devices you load it on. You can use it free in cell or WiFi range. For maps offshore and away from city verge there is a annual subscription. Bit worth it in my opinion. They sell some add on hardware which has some really useful features and makes the system very accurate with it's heading sensor. Works fine without.

    Thanks, I'll check it out.

  2. They lost me with the first paragraph 

     

    OpenPlotter

     

    Tool kit to be used as navigational aid in small and medium-length boats. It can be installed as a Raspberry OS disk image or by parts on your favourite Debian-based Linux distribution. We offer some Raspberry OS images with the most used applications installed and configured but you can also customize your image with the OpenPlotter À la Carte tool.

  3. 1) for the mechanics.  I have replacement 4hp 4 stroke yamaha.  The old one always started on the second pull. This one on the 7th. Do I have to live with this.

     

    2) my favorite chart plotter app (mx mariner) is no more. What would you replace it with. Preferably free. Preferably able to download nz charts, free. And easy to use.

    Who uses the term sailboat in NZ? Ai content leaves clues, we seem to be heading into a place where online discussions will be between my Ai bot and yours lol!

    I use sailboat all the time. I prefer it to yacht as it is more precise.
