This is an easy way to create Satellite overlays for OpenCPN with a Mac or a PC in 30 minutes or less. That is the set up time, once you are set up, you can create a Satellite overlay in about 5 minutes start to finish. Anyone can do it now quickly, and easily before a crossing with a decent internet connection.
