I have a couple of chartplotters, but since I also bought the Admiral a netbook for Xmas I am toying with setting it up to work as a plotter as well, if only to make it simpler to plan routes, etc while off the boat or at least in enclosed quarters.
Downloading and integrating the charts is the mystery to me. Is there a good tutorial someplace on raster vs. vector charts, how to get them to work with charting software etc? I downloaded OpenCPN but haven't really studied what sort of chart info will work best.
