Finding Apps

I just figured that it is not that easy to find software which uses OpenStreetMap or OpenSeaMap here in the wiki, so I just added some links for them to make them easier to discover for visitors. I hope that will ease finding a solution for visitors. --Trailblazr 20:51, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Supported tagging?

There's no mention of which of the various proposed marine tagging schemes is the one that the overlay uses... I don't sail but have entered some lateral and cardinal buoys by interpolating from different directions. If you are to add areas that get rendered, there's some marine content near Helsinki and Porvoo. Alv 06:35, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Guide to Port Entry

Can this be made in some sort of searchable wiki format? It must be editable on web just as a wiki, but searchable according to possition and on free text search. (Searching for ports near S22 25 W040 00 should return Arraial do Cabo, Macae at least - searching for Europort should give the entry of Europort under Rotterdam, etc.) The port entries should at minimum include the name of port, position, contacts for pilot and port authority, and link to both seamap and streetmap of port. Information of restriction, local procedures for entry, reporting, etc should also be available. --Skippern 23:26, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

SRTM style Water Depth data

I would like somebody to set up a SRTM style water depth database, that can be used to insert isobaths (depth courves), and depths of points directly into a map, and will allow the generator of the map to decide what depths the isobaths should follow, and as well allow the software or the maps to highlight danger areas such as shoals close to port entrances. I know that some data are publically awailable (cannot reference sources), but as far as I know no data set are fully complete. If we/OpenSeaMap/other PD(or equivalent) source can host a complete dataset, similar to SRTM, than we have the freedom to do whatever we want with the data. --Skippern 10:16, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Usage

Navigation --Bullstreetboy 09:02, 18 February 2010 (UTC) BSGPS does this as of 17th Feb 2010 [1].

Waterdepth --Bullstreetboy 09:02, 18 February 2010 (UTC) If your receiver (some fishfinders) sends $GPDTP/$GPMTW sentences BSGSP can do this.

Update frequency

unknown.. how often is the map data refreshed ?
