Is there a nautical map equivalent of osm or organic maps? One that emphasizes waterways by drawing them thicker when zoomed out like regular maps draw roads thicker? Plan routes over the water? Even google maps lacks a nautical layer.
- shiandow 2mo agoOsmAnd has a nautical map plugin you can enable.
- RobotToaster 2mo agoFor some reason osmAnd was the only GPS map that would work on a flight for me.
- ihatehn 2mo agoOM and CoMaps should also work, though you might need to wait awhile for a GPS fix and be near a window. Google's main hiccup will be an internet connection for the maps.
- jboss10 2mo agoThe plugin is just part of why OsmAnd is good for nautical use, there is also an alternate view in the configure map menu for nautical use.
- bmitch3020 2mo agoThe OSS tool for nautical charts is OpenCPN.
- s3krit 2mo agoit depends what type of waterways you’re after. for the sea, https://map.openseamap.org/ https://map.openseamap.org/ is very good (but no route planning sadly - for that you’d need opencpn and some charts obtained. For inland waterways i can only speak for the English canals, for which i recommend https://opencanalmap.uk/ https://opencanalmap.uk/ which uses data from both OSM and the Canal and River Trust. Again, sadly no route planning but for that I use https://canalplan.org.uk/ https://canalplan.org.uk/
- Doctor_Fegg 2mo agoCRT data is not open - it has an (entirely pointless) non commercial clause.
