NB
OpenCPN and most of its plugins are totally opensource and are in the Core Repository.
You can use it to navigate in the part of the world where nautical charts are freely downloadable
from local oceanic administration (NOAA in USA, for instance)

Unfortunately, elsewhere you need to buy encrypted nautical charts licensed from local Hydrographic Offices... 
The three plugins allowing to use those licensed nautical charts contain a closed source part, 
but are freely distributable.
For this reason they can't be in the Core Repository and are in NonFree Repository.

You need to activate this repository to install :
opencpn-oernc-plugin   (for raster charts purchased from o-charts.org)
opencpn-oesenc-plugin  (for vector charts purchased from o-charts.org)
opencpn-s63-plugin     (for vector charts purchased from S-63 charts distributors)

Those plugins allow to store and use the appropriate encryption certificate, 
or to use the USB dongle provided by the distributor, to display the paid charts .
