| al@18521 | 1 Opencpn was built with the following objectives in mind: |
| al@18521 | 2 |
| al@18521 | 3 1. Intended use as primary navigation interface for vessels with full-time |
| al@18521 | 4 helm-visible navigational suites. Other tools may be better for offline |
| al@18521 | 5 route planning, tide and current prediction, online logging, etc. |
| al@18521 | 6 2. Quick startup and shutdown. |
| al@18521 | 7 3. Those and only those toolbar buttons really needed for daily operation. |
| al@18521 | 8 4. Portability, thus wxWidgets core components. Currently tested and in |
| al@18521 | 9 production use on W98, XP, OSx, and Linux. |
| al@18521 | 10 5. Conventional (i.e. popular and modern) chart format support. In the real |
| al@18521 | 11 world, this means BSB format raster charts, and S57ENC format vector charts. |
