Also notes that chartplotter isn't dead — it's the web-based take and may be picked back up — and that tile57, the engine under both, is still actively supported. --- README.md | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 11cd6dc..e6ffd2c 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -5,6 +5,26 @@ Turn NOAA S-57 ENC cells into offline vector-tile charts and render them in the browser.
