buoy overlay on Android

[vronp]

Hi all,


Can anyone confirm the Buoy Overlay for inland (Buoys Overlay Download) works correctly on the paid Android version?


I tried the free version on the Google Play store. It seems to work well with charts but when I reload the directory with the Buoy Overlay added, it crashes. Perhaps I am doing this incorrectly?


I am unzipping both the charts and the Buoy Overlay in the same directory.



thanks,
Dave

There is an error in the URL that is used in the Android version of OpenCPN when downloading charts from the US Army Corps of Engineers. This is a known problem, and it is scheduled to be corrected in the next release of OpenCPN for Android. The problem is only encountered when downloading

US Inland ENC's (IENC),
Buoy Overlay for the IENCs, and
The depth overlay for Southwest Pass of the Mississippi River.

Here is a link to the short discussion on the forum for Android OpenCPN:
