- the satellite images are now on the server – so download them all ( 2.7 GB !! )

example (c:\ge_charts ) - launch / open OpenCpn
- and add the charts –
click on Options ( little wrench) -> Charts -> Add Directory -> Select the Folder you just created -> example (c:\ge_charts )
- Click [x] Scan Charts and update Database – Apply – wait and voila !
