Then I double-click on my new waypoint to open the Waypoint Properties window. I create a waypoint by right-clicking in the approximate location on the chart and selecting Drop Mark. Creating a WaypointĪfter copying the latitude and longitude of my anchorage, I go to OpenCPN. I copy the latitude and longitude to the clipboard, by highlighting them with my mouse, right-clicking and selecting Copy. I click Show Marker Info, if it’s not already visible.
After opening the ActiveCaptain website and signing-in, I search for West Pass, click on the anchorage, and it brings me here. We want to spend a night at the anchorage called West Pass. Once we have a rough idea of the trip, we look at places where we might want to drop the anchor, or pull into a slip for the night. I can click on USERDATA and see all my waypoints, routes and tracks from my chartplotter. Then I start HomePort-it finds the SD card.
Then, I eject the SD card from the chartplotter, remove it from the adapter and plug it into my computer. I press “Yes”, and it prepares the card, transfers User Waypoints, Routes and Tracks. I turn on my chartplotter and plug in my SD card/adapter and I select the “Manage Card” prompt, and then “Save to Card” and “Overwrite this File: USERDATA”. It contains my map and user data, with plenty of room to spare. I use a 16GB Micro SD card with an SD adapter. Copying Data from Chartplotterīefore doing anything, I like to copy all the routes, tracks and waypoints from my chartplotter to my SD card. Maybe later we will take this trip, and I will follow-up with more posts. For now, this is the last post on this topic.

I started this series of articles a while ago. So we left Questeria in Marathon and took off in our RV. When we called the boatyard in Moore Haven, FL, they told us there was a waiting list. We had a schedule-a memorial service in Chicago, and a wedding in Phoenix, Arizona. Intentions in Planning Multi-Day Cruises-Overview. I walk through an example route that I created as part of a trip from FL Keys to Moore Haven, FL. These are two utility programs that I wrote to make it easier to plan multi-day cruises. In Planning Muli-Day Cruises-GPX Tools, I talk about GPX Tools.

I talk about setting-up the mobile app on an iOS or Android device and importing and exporting user data to/from the app. I talk about using ActiveCaptain to find anchorages, marinas and more. The post talks about the website and the mobile app. In Planning Muli-Day Cruises-ActiveCaptain, I talk about Garmin ActiveCaptain. I also talk about using HomePort and transfering user data between HomePort and a Garmin chartplotter.

The post talks about installing and setting-up HomePort on a Windows PC. In Planning Muli-Day Cruises-HomePort, I talk about Garmin HomePort. I also talk about using OpenCPN to create waypoints and routes. I discuss installing and setting-up OpenCPN and installing charts. In Planning Muli-Day Cruises-OpenCPN, I talk about OpenCPN. The next articles discuss each tool in more detail. I also give an overview of the tools we use. The post talks about how I create a route by starting with two or three waypoints on a small scale chart, and then, zoom in and iteratively refine it on larger scale charts.
In this case, the cruise we planned never happened. In Planning Multi-Day Cruises-Overview, I talk about how I plan extended cruises. When cruising for several days, we plan the routes ahead of time and organize them using Google Sheets. When cruising on Questeria, we like to have a route on our chartplotter. Click here to see details of what’s new in OpenCPN 5.0 I have updated it with footnotes to address some of the changes in OpenCPN 5.0. "Don't forget to Live"_"I'll try "anything" once"_'You keep doing what you're doing, you keep getting what you're getting"_"Change does not come from a "yes" man"_"A well defined problem is already half solved"_"Better to be thought of as a fool, than to open your mouth and prove it.OpenCPN was updated after I posted this article.
