Navigation and ocean mapping


Olex is an uniqe system for navigation, fishery plotting and ocean mapping manufactured by the norwegian company Olex AS. Using the ships own echosounder and GPS the Olex system collects depth information which are continously calculated together with the earlier measurings. The result is displayed on screen as a realistic 3D seafloor view.


Fedora 11 and hardware

Computers and mainboards based on the Intel X4500 graphic chip will probably need Fedora 11 to work with Olex. Dual display is not available for Fedora 11- and Olex installations with this hardware.


Olex 7.19 is now ready!

This version supports Fedora 12. Wassp fish echoes are better handled. Seabed cable data from OFCC are also supported. Various minor bugs has been rectified. Intel graphics still only yields single displays under either Fedora 11 or 12.
