I am also looking for maps to OpenCPN, at the moment Magellan Strait, I have the official Argentinian maps (latest update 2012, only large scale maps, no detailed maps available), I found some parts here: but that covers mostly the western part, I am more interested in the eastern part. If the sources I get are of compatible license with OSM/OSeaM I am willing to prepare the maps for tracing or similar. If anybody have success with that please let me know. The Chilean map agency,, probably have better maps of the area I am interested in, but I am not able to extract these maps. It automatically downloads all charts (both vector and raster) from NOAA and the US Army Corps of Engineers for regions of USA you select. Another concern with Argentinian official maps for download is that they have not been updated or corrected since early 2012, this is an area with offshore installations. SEAiq USA is a full-featured marine navigation app. I have official Argentinian maps downloaded from but they cover only this part with a general map, not any details. SEAiq Open ( ) is the only application on iPad / iPhone for using vector charts ENC IHO official standards S-52, S-57 and S-63. Its developer, Mark Hayden, is a Californian computer engineer living a good part of his time with his family or alone around the world aboard his Super Maramu, happy man. The details I need are navigational marks and offshore installations. SEAiq was posted on the AppStore in April 2012. o-charts was created as part of OpenCPN with the goal to provide the OpenCPN user community with up-to-date quality charts at a reasonable price point. I need them in BSB or ENC format that can be opened with OpenCPN, or as a Garmin MAPI format to open with Garmin HomePort for Mac. I urgently need maps of the Magellan Strait, principally eastern part.
