Hi Shawn,
I used OpenCPN and Nobeltec quite a fews ago on the West Coast cruise.
Main charts were NDI (digital ocean) and Nobeltec vr4. I did say old.
I also had C-map 93, more for entertainment and back-up. Ran them on
two XP machines, a Dell & ThinkPad.
There is an OpenCPN chart download here:

Mostly for entertainment as not all the marks in our area as show...
nothing in Sooke Harbour and missing a key one in Nanaimo Harbour.
Cheers, Russ

I'm trying out OpenCPN on my laptop and Android tablet, but can't
find a source for Canadian charts. Has anyone had luck using OpenCPN
in Canadian waters (west coast)?
For this asking about using Android tablets offline for navigation,
I have had no issues travelling with several Android phones and
tablets in many countries (Japan, Central America, US and Canada)
without cell or wifi service, either by downloading Google offline
maps in advance, or using another offline map app. The app contains
the offline map/chart data, and the phone/tablet merely need to
obtain a GPS fix, which does not require either cellular data or wifi.
