Re: {ΜarineΤraffic:405} Re: Suggestion to add Open Sea Map as a viewing option

[Dick Frakes]

I also was able to include AIS targets on OpenSeaMap. However; it would be a complete system if it included depths and channels. Same as raster or vector - maybe both or the option of picking the one you like. I personally like raster over vector. Also if you could pull your own AIS targets by themselves would be a nice option, even if they could be color coded as your fleet on your plotter only.

I support looking seriously at this suggestion. Their is a current movement to incorporate the technological resources that are now available to create a more accurate sea map.

In addition to the Google Map and satellite view, I think it would be a good idea to add Open Sea Map as an option as it has so much more detail than Google Maps for coastal areas.

From their site - "OpenSeaMap is an open source, worldwide project to create a free nautical chart. There is a great need for freely accessible maps for navigation purposes, so in 2009, OpenSeaMap came into life. The goal of OpenSeaMap is to record interesting and useful nautical information for the sailor which is then incorporated into a free map of the world. This includes beacons, buoys and other navigation aids as well as port information, repair shops and chandlerys. OpenSeaMap is a subproject of OpenStreetMap and uses its database."
