## Description

OpenCPN is an open-source marine navigation software project serving boaters who need chart plotting and GPS navigation while underway. Designed for use at a boat’s helm, the software helps users view charts, plan a course, and track their position from a laptop or other supported device. OpenCPN is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and Android, making it accessible across a range of platforms.

The software offers features, charts, and plugins, with additional resources including quick-start guidance, FAQs, manuals, downloads, and a gallery. Its Plugin Manager provides access to tools that extend its navigation capabilities. One featured option is the Celestial Navigation plugin, which includes functions such as coastal sextant tools, horizon events, sun and moon information, running fixes, lunar tools, sight analysis, eclipse information, and almanac generation. The site notes that this plugin has been tested on Windows, MacOS, and Linux and is still under development.

OpenCPN is used by boaters worldwide and is presented as a concise, robust navigation tool.
