OpenCPN is an open source tool designed to help sailors in their route planning and real-time navigation. Developed by a large community of sailors, OpenCPN has become popular thanks to its versatility, accuracy and the support it provides for a variety of charting systems and GPS devices. The tool is ideal for both recreational and professional boaters, allowing for a safer and more efficient boating experience.

Real-time route planning and navigation

One of the cornerstones of the OpenCPN tool is its ability to offer detailed route planning. Create and modify routes with ease, setting reference points on nautical charts. As you sail, OpenCPN offers the ability to monitor your vessel's location in real time, thanks to its integration with GPS devices. This feature is essential for all sailors, as it allows you to adjust your course according to the conditions of the voyage or potential obstacles. What's more, OpenCPN supports several map projection options, ensuring accurate representation of charts, even in areas of high navigation difficulty.

Support for multiple types of nautical charts

OpenCPN stands out for its compatibility with various types of nautical charts, making it a flexible and adaptable tool. It supports both raster and vector navigation charts, including official NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and S-57 charts, the international standard for electronic navigational charts (ENC). It also supports S-63 charts, which are protected and used by official chart services. This ensures that seafarers can access detailed and up-to-date charts, enhancing their safety and planning.

AIS and radar data monitoring

OpenCPN even supports the Automatic Identification System (AIS), crucial technology that allows vessels to see and be seen by others in their area, which is critical to preventing collisions. Thanks to AIS functionality, you can see the position and course of other nearby vessels in real time. In addition, OpenCPN can be integrated into radar systems, providing an extra layer of security by allowing you to monitor the conditions around your boat. These features make OpenCPN a powerful tool for improving safety on the water, especially in high traffic or low visibility areas.

If you like to sail and are looking for a tool to help you with the day-to-day, download OpenCPN for free and navigate safely.
