Open CPN is a chartplotter navigation software that allows mariners to upload multiple charts and satellites images that can be overlayed on one another to confirm what one sees (or does not see) with the chart.ย It is a huge departure from the days of early explorers that navigated by compass, distant accounts, clouds, and stars.ย Open CPN takes navigating to a whole different level filled with information.ย Ocean Posse members have access to relavent Open CPN Charts and Files that aid navigation and keep vessels and crews safer on the water.ย SV Whirlwind used Open CPN above to navigate an entrance through a passage in a reef into an atoll.
