# OpenMarineCharts
This is an attempt to create modern, beautiful, constantly updated, and eventually accurate marine charts using open data sources, open source tools, and reproducible workflows.
## Current Status & Goals
### 🟡 Phase 1: **Small scale** basemap of the world 🌎
1. 🟡 Tooling and automated workflows for the creation of vector tiles
2. 🟡 Initial basemap of the world at scale 9
3. ⚪️ Infrastructure for serving and distributing (releases, website, tile server, Signal K plugin, etc)
### ⚪️ Phase 2: **Medium scale** regional charts 🗺️
1. ⚪️ Incorporate Regional hydrographic/bathymetry data
2. ⚪️ Incorporate [OpenSeaMap](https://openseamap.org/) data
3. ⚪️ Incorporate relevant [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org) data.
### ⚪️ Phase 3: **Large scale** local charts 🗾
1. ⚪️ Tools to record and overlay vessel's own sounder data
2. ⚪️ Incorporate local hydrographic/bathymetry data
3. ⚪️ Incorporate crowd-sourced bathymetry data
✅ Done - 🟡 In progress - ⚪️ Not started
