Open CPN and Colombia Charts

[Jillmstar]

Hello, does anyone have any Colombia charts already made for OpenCPN? I do not have a windows computer to make the files. If I sent a PDF of charts to some would you be willing to make me some? Thanks a bunch, from a sailor wanting to explore more remote areas.

Watching... trying to get Colombian charts for a while, but I can't ignore their prices.

One option are S-63 charts.

"Official ENCs", Select Colombia, and perhaps license period 3 months (charts will stay afterwards, just updates stop)
You will not need all 71 charts, one would suspect...

For an overview of the actual existing ENCs:

I can make the SASplanet,etc charts for you. Can you do a screenshot or something of the area of Colombia that you need?

You need to be more specific than that or you will end up having to wait several weeks for the charts to be made (Yep, depending on the detail, charts can take several days to be created/downloaded from SASPlanet) and then be prepared to download several Gb of charts.

Are you talking Pacific Colombia or Atlantic Colombia or both? Which anchorages? What zoom levels? Which format (ArcGIS, BING, GE, Navionics, CMap)?

If you have WhatsApp, PM your number and then we can discuss the practical issues of making charts for you eg where to upload them to (DropBox or other and do you have enough space for me to upload them there)

I´ve just checked, the Navionics Atlantic Colombia chart with decent detail / zoom levels will be just over 7Gb. The CMap charts for the area are awful, so not worth the effort. Then there will be the ArcGIS etc satellite charts, which with only two zoom levels of 17 & 18, will be just over 2Gb each.

Hey, I sent you a message with my WA #. I’ll go through the guide and pick out the few charts I would like. I appreciate you doing this for me.
Thanks
