Ivanm...
No. But if you set it to represent the real size of the boat (unless your boat is a supertanker) in Toolbox -> Ships -> Own Ship, it can hardly cover anything important.

looking here:

o-charts

and there the fingerprint in the Linux 64bit version

[Ivanm]

I downloaded it but Ubuntu ask for a program to open the fingerprint file

Well, I'm not the Ubuntu expert, but what should work:

open a console, navigate to the directory where the fingerprinter resides and
enter there at the prompt: ./fpr02.3_L64

Btw.: this is for 64bit - for 32 bit this would be the other version and the file is named
fpr02.3_L then

Ivan,

as I don't have an Ubuntu here: did you try to right-clic the file and perhaps there is an option "execute"?

Hubert

[Ivanm]

Hubert & Ivanm

The file is not executable when downloaded, that's the "problem".
First do this at a command prompt.

chmod +x fpr02.3_L64

and then

./fpr02.3_L64

provided you're in the same directory as the fingerprint file.

You should also be able to make the file executable from the right click.
menu. Right click -> permissions tab -> tick "Allow executing this file as a program" (or similar). After this, you should be able just to click or double click the downloaded file to produce the fingerprint.

Of course you can adapt.
