raster - Loading NOAA Nautical Charts .bsb format into QGIS?


Is it possible to load a nautical chart from NOAA into QGIS that has the .bsb format? Didn't have much luck with mrSID format.


using QGIS(dev) on ubuntu 13.04



Answer



Using QGIS 1.8.0 Lisboa on Windows and Ubuntu 12.04, I had no problem opening the first .kap file from Chart 50 as raster source. And it fits good to a Openstreetmap background.


I assume that the .bsb file only contains some metadata of the chart.


BSB is listed under Settings -> Options, GDAL tab. Is this missing on Ubuntu dev version?
