Hardware and software for an opencpn-based chartplotter

Hardware and software for an opencpn-based chartplotter The kardware has been designed with kicad 4.0.x The chartplotter is built around a A20-based single-board computer from Olimex (https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXIno-LIME2/) and a 15" TFT full HD display also from Olimex (https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/LCD/LCD-OLinuXino-15.6FHD)
