Supports CentOS 8.3, the latest and greatest Linux version. Includes the latest Norwegain marine base maps from NGU. Some minor bugs are also fixed.
We just found that installing Scientific Linux and then Olex 14.8 will not work. The combination of CentOS 8.3 and Olex 14.8 is fine, as is upgrading an existing Olex to Olex 14.8 without reinstalling Linux. We will shortly release Olex 14.9 to fix this issue.
Olex is a unique navigation and mapping system developed by Olex AS in Trondheim. The system is used, among other things, in fisheries, aquaculture, port work, and subsea piping. Using GPS and sonar, depth data is collected which is continuously calculated and added to previous measurements. The result is visualized, in real time, as a realistic 3D map of the seabed. The system has advanced navigational features and can be upgraded with software extensions to interface with relevant hardware like AIS, multibeam sonars and trawl/ROV positioning systems.
