Has anyone seen a project to collect position and depth data
automatically and periodically upload the data to a central server? I
vaguely recall someone who mapped one or more anchorages automatically
like that, and there's another project where large and commercial ships
sample and analyze the waters they're passing through.

I would love to participate, in exchange for charts that accurately
show what's ahead of our keel.

There is a program called Ozidepths which works in collaboration with
OziExplorer, the best of all navigation software.

You could Google for it, and as Oziexplorer has programmable
factilities, you might be able to adapt Ozidepths to suit your purpose.

Sadly, OziExplorer doesn't support Mac, so I couldn't participate.

Friends don't let friends do Windoze.
