OpenCPN on Raspberry PI
Installing OpenCPN on a Raspberry Pi offers sailors a cost-effective, customizable, and powerful navigation solution. The Raspberry Pi is compact, energy-efficient, and ideal for a boat’s confined space. With OpenCPN’s open-source chart plotting software, sailors can access real-time navigation, route planning, and instrument integration, such as AIS and GPS. It allows for easy upgrades and customization, providing a reliable and flexible system for navigating open waters without breaking the bank.
Top-Notch Support
Open Ocean OS’s after-sale support is a key advantage, providing expert assistance for installation, troubleshooting, and system updates. Challenges can arise in the marine environment, and having dedicated support ensures quick resolution and smooth operation. With ongoing guidance, sailors can confidently rely on their systems, focusing on sailing rather than technical issues.

Low Power Requirements
“Low Power, High Flexibility—Our OpenCPN system operates at just 7 watts, drawing approximately 0.58 amps at 12V. For 48 hours, the system will require around 28 amp-hours of power. This makes it ideal for batteries, solar panels, or AC power sources.”
Turn-Key Experience
Purchasing a ready-built OpenCPN Raspberry Pi from Open Ocean OS ensures a hassle-free, reliable setup. Our turnkey systems come pre-configured with optimal settings, hardware integration, and top-level support. This saves time and eliminates technical challenges, allowing sailors to focus on navigation without the complexities of DIY installation.
Enhanced OpenCPN and Signal K Software
Our Value Add
We specialize in enhancing the powerful, open-source OpenCPN chart plotting and navigation software by configuring, integrating, and optimizing it for your specific needs. With its robust plugin ecosystem, we tailor the system for seamless maritime navigation and onboard vessel management, ensuring a reliable and user-friendly solution.
Off-The-Shelf Hardware
Marine technology often relies on costly, proprietary systems. Open Ocean OS uses open-source software and affordable, off-the-shelf components like RTL-SDR, Raspberry Pi, and GPS antennas. This ensures a system that’s cost-effective, customizable, scalable, and future-proof.
“Low Power, High Flexibility—Our system runs efficiently on batteries, an AC adapter, or solar panels. It operates at just 7 watts, making it ideal for 12V setups. With a 200Wh battery, the system can run for approximately 28 hours of continuous use.”
Compact & Waterproof—Its small, durable design makes it perfect for emergency use in a lifeboat or as your primary navigation system. Reliable and portable, it’s ready for any adventure.”
