GoogleEarth KAP Library Update 2

Hi everyone,

It has only been a few months since we updated our KAP Library of GoogleEarth images.  The library provides satellite images translated into 'charts', primarily for use in OpenCPN and SEAiq.  The library is publicly accessible on Dropbox.

The library and its use are described here.

The full set of blog posts relating to the KAP library is here.

Additions mostly to West Caribbean

The additions and updates to the library include KAP files in the following countries:

• Caribbean
• ABCs
• AntiguaBarbuda
• Belize
• CaymanIslands
• Columbia
• CostaRica
• Cuba
• DominicanRepublic
• Guadeloupe
• Guatamala
• Honduras
• Jamaica
• Mexico
• Nicaragua
• Panama
• StMartin
• Venezuela

There are about 900 new 'charts'.  The largest of the files is less than 160MB in size.

Here are some screenshots from OpenCPN showing the coverage in some of the countries...

The new files were created using VentureFarther's OpenCPN plugin 'vfkaps'.  The plugin makes it easy to create new KAP files.
