THE DISPLAY OF AIS TARGETS ON OpenCPN HAS A VARIETY OF
FEATURES AND CONDITIONS.
PLEASE REFER TO THE AIS SECTION OF THE USER MANUAL FOR
DETAILED READING ON THIS SUBJECT.
BUT SEEING IS NOT ALWAYS BELIEVING! THE DATA BEING SENT FROM
A TARGET IS NOT ALWAYS CORRECT. OTHER THAN THE INFORMATION
ENTERED DURING INSTALLATION (NAME, CALL SIGN, MMSI, CLASS, SHIP
DETAILS) AND THAT COMING FROM THE GPS (POSITION, SOG, COG,
RATE OF TURN) IT IS DEPENDENT ON THE CREW TO ENTER
INFORMATION SUCH AS STATUS (MOORED, UNDERWAY, ETA,
DESTINATION, ETC).
AND DONT BE CONFUSED BY A TARGET THAT APPEARS TO BE MOVING
SIDEWAYS OR BACKWARDS. THE CORRECT ORIENTATION OF THE
VESSEL ON THE DISPLAY IS DETERMINED BY CORRECT WIRING OF THE
ON-BOARD HEADING SENSOR. ITS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE.

Exploring OpenCPN LAYERS

Why Layers?
Temporary information during a session
that can be displayed at will
Permanent information in the program
that can be displayed at will

On OpenCPN open the Route Manager
and click on the Layers tab

Click on the Temporary Layer

The Import GPX File window opens. Navigate to the file
you want to have in the temporary layer, highlight it and
click on Open In this case the Philippine Anchorages

The file appears under the Layers tab. Click on
List contents to display the anchorages under
the Waypoints tab.

The anchorages appear as waypoints and are shown
on the chart with the anchorage symbols

If you close OpenCPN and reopen it the temporary
layer is no longer there .. hence temporary
For layers to be permanently available they must

be placed deep within the computer system
The location is dependent on the Windows
operating system i.e. Windows XP, 7 or 8 but
The OpenCPN program helps you find the location !!
In all cases of Windows on OpenCPN click on the

About OpenCPN icon (book with ? on the cover)

The Layers folder will be installed at the OpenCPN Config file
Location e.g. for XP @ C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\
Application Data\opencpn

And for Windows 7 and 8 it will be @
C:\ProgramData\opencpn

If you have trouble finding these locations it will be
necessary to make a setting in Windows Explorer to
show hidden files. Go to Tools and click on Folder
Options Then on the View tab check the button
Show hidden files, folders or
Drives. Click OK

Here (for XP) the opencpn folder is opened

Create a new folder Layers within the opencpn folder

Its only necessary to create this folder once.
All future layer information will be placed in this folder.

I have now navigated to a .gpx file of All Philippine
Anchorages and copied that file to the clipboard.

Return to the Layers folder and right click on it

Paste the file into the Layers folder

The anchorage file appears in the Layers folder

The anchorages are now shown on the Layers tab
of OpenCPN

To show the contents of the anchorage file under
The Waypoints tab, click on the button List contents

Each of the anchorages is listed here and displayed on the chart

To go to a waypoint location on the chart,
click on the button Center View

The anchorage is displayed on the chart

ANY .gpx file can be put in the Layers folder. Here I
have some information about currents in the Philippines

As before, the file is copied .

pasted into the Layers folder

and when OpenCPN is launched it appears under
the Layers tab

The information about current is shown at the circles,
easily displayed or not using the Route Manager

POINTS TO REMEMBER
ANY .gpx file can be put in a layer.
This includes routes, tracks, anchorages and other
Information that has been saved in the .gpx format.
Waypoints in a layer are locked and cannot be changed.
This prevents the unplanned movement of a waypoint
while clicking on the screen. It is therefore not necessary
to lock waypoints in Options/User Interface and will
allow you to modify the location of waypoints while
making routes without unchecking this option.
Exploring OpenCPN - GRIB files

THIS DISCUSSION ASSUMES YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY SAVED GRIB FILES
AND THE GRIB PLUGIN IS INSTALLED IN OpenCPN.
AT Options/Plugins CHECK THAT THE GRIB PLUGIN IS ENABLED AND THE
PREFERENCES ARE AS SHOWN. THEN CLICK ON OK

ON THE OpenCPN TOOLBAR CLICK ON THE GRIB ICON
CLICK ON Open File

NAVIGATE TO THE LOCATION OF SAVED GRIB FILES. IN THIS CASE I HAVE
SAVED zyGriB FILES AS SHOWN. NOTE THE LOCATION IN WINDOWS 7
SELECT THE FILE AND

THEN CLICK ON Open

Exploring OpenCPN
Voyage data recording
PARAPHRASING THE OpenCPN MANUAL:
Use VDR for AIS Simulation - Run VDR to play AIS NMEA files. Or... use the VDR
plugin to record your passages and replay them later! These are just a few examples,
of how to use this versatile plugin.
When VDR is activated in ToolBar -> Options -> Plugins -> VDR, two Buttons
appear in the ToolBar
The left button is for recording, and leads to a "Choose file" dialog to select the file
to record to.
The right button is for playing an existing file, and also leads to a dialog where the
file must be selected.
Exploring OpenCPN
Voyage data recording
Once selected VDR starts to play the file, the small dialog below shows on the
screen.
You can control the speed with the upper slide. Far left is slow, natural speed,
while moving the slide to the far right equals fast forwarding.
The lower part of the dialog shows the progress.
Exploring OpenCPN
BYE !
I hope this has been useful . It took
several bottles of red wine to complete.
I will blame any mistakes on the wine.
