Why are you using the raster charts instead of the S57 vector charts? eg. http://www.charts.noaa.gov/ENCs/ENCs.shtml http://www.charts.noaa.gov/ENCs/ENCs.shtml

Also, if you're interested in AIS support take a look at https://www.github.com/bcl/aisparser/ https://www.github.com/bcl/aisparser/
- andrewljohnson 13y agoOn S57, couple reasons: 1) Our attempt to render S57 on the device isn't good enough for prime-time yet, but that's something we'll eventually do. We decided we needed many more months to get the styling right. 2) We are thinking about merging S57 with OSM data to make a seamless land/see map. 3) The raster charts are only 2 gigs for the US, and the vectors are only about half that. So, the space savings isn't a big win, whereas pretty charts is a big win. AIS parser is really interesting! We might have to make use of that, thanks.
