About OpenCPN
OpenCPN is chart plotting and navigation software designed for use at the helm while underway. It shows your position on electronic charts, lets you plan and follow routes and records tracks from a connected GPS. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Raspberry Pi and Android.
A plugin manager adds extra capabilities from a catalog of community plugins, such as the Celestial Navigation plugin with sextant sights, running fixes and almanac tools. It suits sailors who want a capable chartplotter on a laptop or onboard computer without buying dedicated hardware.
