Most Helpful Video. Too bad the actual use of ECDIS was not taught at the maritime college.

How do I plot great circle routes on this ECDIS?

[@nauticalacademy001]

OpenCPN has limited features for directly plotting great circle routes as curved lines. However, you can plot a modified great circle track using multiple rhumb lines to approximate the curve. This involves creating several waypoints along the great circle route and connecting them with rhumb lines to form a segmented path that closely follows the desired great circle track.
