Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on a project that requires displaying nautical charts within a mapping application using the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt on Linux.
I'd like to ask if Esri has any plans to officially support ENC formats such as S-63 and S-101 in the Qt SDK. I noticed that the .NET SDK already includes S-63 ENC support. Are there any plans to incorporate this same functionality into the Qt SDK?
At the moment, ENC support in the Qt SDK is currently limited to S-57, and handling encrypted S-63 requires going through ArcGIS Maritime Server, which adds significant infrastructure overhead for projects that just need to render nautical charts on the client side.
I also came across this previous thread on the topic, but haven't found any newer updates since then:
https://community.esri.com/t5/qt-maps-sdk-questions/s-63-enc-support/m-p/1488729
Native support for these formats would be extremely valuable for applications in our maritime field.
Context:
- Platform: Linux
- UI: Qt 6 (ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt)
Has anyone implemented a workflow for this with the Qt SDK? Also, is there any official roadmap information related to S-63/S-101 support?
Thanks in advance!
