France Inland ENC chart doesn't work

[adrianostlund]

Hi!
I have for a couple of days had problems downloading the (free) France Inland ENC Charts on Opencpn (from the built in ChartCatalogs in opencpn). There is no problem with the charts covering Rhone, so I don't think it's a problem with my system.

Anyone else who also struggle? Or have an idea on solutions/where to find other charts covering the same area?

Many thanks!
Adrian

It seems that VNF (The France institute that is making those charts) is having problems. As far as I can see it is not related to OpenCPN

Go here for downloading the charts:
https://www.vnf.fr/vnf/app/uploads/ecdis/ecdis.html


Possibly OCPN does not accept the request for validation:
https://www.vnf.fr/vnf/app/uploads/ecdis/index.html

Because the sites for downloading charts always dynamically change it is not a very good idea to use this static OCPN chart downloader.

the vnf.fr site is geo-blocking a good part of the world. Don't be surprised if the link does not work for you.

Isnt there a way around the geo lock?
