NAVTEX PC Pro 2 ENGINE DISPLAY

[Vortec]

I'm running OpenCPN as a backup chart plotter on a laptop with Linux Ubuntu, but I don't know how to get the NASA Marine Ltd. NAVTEX PC Pro 2 ENGINE DISPLAY v4.00 to run in the Linux environment. Or even better: as apart of OpenCPN...



Can you help me?

Try the java based JNX, that works well on Linux.

Hey Thomas


The NAVTEX PC Pro 2 ENGINE DISPLAY is a Windows app that work fine, but I want it incorporated in OpenCPN or at least in the Linux environment.


Your solution is like walking over the river to get water... ;-)

Tor run a Windows application under Linux, try WINE. https://www.winehq.org


How would you expect the following Navtex message excerpt to be displayed in OpenCPN ?

Other than having a single place in which all navigation/weather data is displayed, unlike Grib files which are overlayed on the chart, I don't understand how a navtex message adds value directly to an OpenCPN chart display.
