April 08, 2023 by Out Chasing Stars | Language: EN Play Time: 00:00:14:32 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In our continuing OpenCPN tutorial series, we’re going to show how you can easily get AIS and NMEA data into OpenCPN. We use the wifi network from our Vesper Marine AIS, but we’ll talk about various alternatives and show HOW to setup the proper network connection.
We’ll also go over how to change your AIS settings in OpenCPN and I’ll share a few tips and tricks for how we’ve used some of the features to help us navigate!
