I would be very happy if maps in ENC format could loaded into Oruxmaps.



I am using Oruxmaps for nautical navigation. Recently the Dutch government has made nautical maps in ENC format available (http://www.vaarweginformatie.nl/fdd/main/infra/enc">http://www.vaarweginformatie.nl/fdd/main/infra/enc). These are accurate vector maps. Now I am using maps from OpenSeaMaps. These maps do not show depths, so they are useless in Dutch coastal areas.

There are free ENC maps available for the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Croatia, Serbia, The Czech Republic, Rumania, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Switzerland en the USA.



I know I can buy paper maps every year, scan them and covert them into a readable format. That is a hell of a job in the first place and you are likely to make mistakes during the procedure of calibration.



Compatiblity of ENC maps with Oruxmaps would be a great feature for this great application!

I am very happy with the new feature AIS. Thank you for that.

However it would be even more useful when the speed and the course of a ship is being shown by an arrow at the bow of the ship. The longer the arrow, the higher the speed. The estimation of a possible collision is easier that way.

A different colour for different kind of ships (moored/anchored, sailing yachts, cargo vessels) would also contribute to a better understanding.

Erg fraaie handleiding!! Alle lof.



Volgens mij heb ik een detail ontdekt dat gecorrigeerd moet worden:



Blz. 59: "-als u AIS-informatie via wifi wilt ontvangen, selecteer dan AIS OVER IP

via MENU-INSTELLINGEN-POSITIEOPSLAG- EXTERNE BLUETOOTH AIS, en

voer de URL- en poortgegevens in."



Dit lijkt mij niet correct. Zou moeten zijn:

-als u AIS-informatie via wifi wilt ontvangen, selecteer dan AIS OVER IP

via MENU-INSTELLINGEN-POSITIEOPSLAG-AIS (nautical)-AIS over IP.

Bij het hierop volgende item "AIS IP-adres" kan dan het IP-adres en de poort worden ingevoerd.





Het is een mooie optie (al werkt ie bij mij niet, helaas).
