About Nautical Charts — OsmAnd
OsmAnd Nautical Charts is an extension for OsmAnd Maps & Navigation app, which is enabled starting from OsmAnd 2.0.
Usage Instructions: it is highly recommended to download nautical basemap in order to see the maps regardless of detailed map presence. Nautical charts are provided as a map and a special style, to switch style in OsmAnd please use the menu item 'Configure Map' on the map screen.
Nautical Chart is a detailed graphical representation of oceans, seas, coastal areas and rivers.
Nautical Charts are made for people who drive any kind of vehicle on water: from professional sailors to people who rented a boat to make a tour over city canals. The charts can contain various information like sailing routes, navigation lights, dangerous areas, areas where it's allowed or not allowed to sail or dock, etc.
All the professional sailors are obliged to have official nautical charts on their ships. These charts are published by authorized agencies and cost quite some money. Agencies are investing a lot in keeping the charts up to date. They release updates for the charts on regular basis, but because of the fact that reviewing the information and processing the updates takes quite some time the nautical charts are never completely up-to-date.
Nautical charts of OsmAnd are based on the data from OpenSeaMap project. The idea of the project is to build the detailed map by people how actually use it. Every user of the map can contribute by adding changes to it making it more detailed and more accurate.
While OpenSeaMap charts at the moment cannot compete with official nautical charts, they can be used by recreational sailors for orientation or route planning.

Wouldn't use it for primary nautical navigation but it's a useful emergency tool. Needs to show depths closer to shore though

Would not display nautical charts. Acted only like Google Maps, except showed a correct map and route, to a specific address, but said it was in another city. Could not bring up any charts of local waterways.

This is a PLUGIN. It won't show an "open" button because you have to activate it from the actual Osmand app. After you do it works just as promised and shown on pictures. Don't give bad ratings just because you don't bother reading the short introduction sentence or the instructions provided by Osmand. And if those are too much of an effort, please don't leave solid ground either ;)

I hope the plugin will slowly include additional information like water depth. Great work. It looks clear.

Great app, did a good job navigating the Venice Lagoon

Nautical details are terrible using the Gulf of Mexico map. No navigation markers, depths are wildly inaccurate compared to NOAA charts. Don't waste your time.
