Open Source Marine Navigation Navigation and monitoring system primarily intended for marine operation in small boats. OpenPilot aspires to provide the functionality found in a normal marine chart-plotter, for free. OpenPilot will run natively under both Windows and Linux. OpenPilot started life as a variety of primarily academic software and hardware projects. With more sailing, and an interest in recording GPS data of each sailing session, the focus turned more toward navigation, and with friends trying to find a chart-plotter, towards on-board navigation. The primary focus of OpenPilot is very much on navigation, but given the platform on which we are developing, we recognise that there are many more possibilities which can make life easier on-board. OpenPilot is unique in the way that it bases all it's functionality on the QT4 framework. This is done to give a virtually “plug and play” system. Each of the widgets which make up OpenPilot can be plugged together using QT's signals and slots, which gives an extremely flexible system, and enables the user (or developer) to produce a system that is not only tailored to their needs, but their personal preferences and layout.
