Hi, I was curious if there was any ongoing activity to implement a new DataStore to support the IHO S-57 format.
http://www.iho.shom.fr/ S-57 is the international standard for marine charts and navigation. In the US, you can download all this data for free from NOAA. http://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/enc/index.htm There are several marine nav software packages that can read this data and do real-time GPS tracking, etc. Unfortunately, many of them are lacking or are costly. It looks like someone was planning on developing a bridge to GeoTools for this data using the OGR C++ library http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ A quick google search turns that up as the only possible activity. A couple quick questions: Does anyone know of any technical hurdles that I should be aware of if I try to pursue such a path with GeoTools? My goal would be to write a native Java S-57 parser library that could then be used by a new DataStore implementation that could then be used by uDig...
