Hello everyone,
I am a developer working on maritime robotics (USVs) and I am looking to integrate localized ENC (S-57) nautical charts into the BlueOS interface.
Currently, BlueOS Cockpit relies on external map providers (like Esri or Google). However, for maritime operations where internet connectivity is limited or for specific regions, where standard satellite imagery lacks nautical detail, we require the ability to use custom local map tiles.
What I have done so far:
Data Conversion: I have successfully converted my S-57 ENC data into standard XYZ map tiles (organized in Z/X/Y folder structures), similar to the format used by Mission Planner and QGroundControl.
Local Hosting: I have attempted to host these tiles locally on the BlueOS Raspberry Pi 5 under the userdata directory and the /var/www/html/ directory.
The Limitation: While I can view these tiles in a standalone web server or via an iframe, there is no native way to "inject" this local map source into the Cockpit extension.
The Goal: I need to be able to perform mission planning (setting waypoints, geofencing) directly on top of these custom nautical charts rather than just viewing them in a separate window.
