Hello List, I have written some (open source, free) logging software, in Java, that works pretty well for me (see links below). I'd like to make them a bit richer, by using a chart in the background, that sometimes helps! Does anyone know if there is any "official" or recommended standard for this kind of data? If yes, is it documented somewhere? What I mean is that, if I have access to nautical charts in this format, will I find somewhere enough information to render those charts using my own program, even if I have to write it? I found some interesting info at http://pollux.nss.nima.mil/pubs/, but I have not been able to find explanation about this format... Any idea, hint, clue, link, etc, most welcome! Thank you all, - Olivier ===================== http://nmeautil.sourceforge.net http://celestjava.sourceforge.net http://olivier.lediouris.net/sailing/dashboard/tutorial/gettingstarted/index.html http://olivier.lediouris.net/sailing/dashboard/tutorial/gettingstarted/index.html
