Go to Options => Charts => Chart Groups.

Sometimes OpenCPN zooms when you change from one "tab" to another.

Click on the leftmost tab to open what is usually the best image for the location. The rightmost tab is always the real (vector) chart. At the bottom of the OpenCPN window you should see blue "tabs" appear to the left of the yellow tab which was there before.

To view a GE image zoom in over one of the red boxes and centre it in the screen.

If not go into Options => Display, turn on Show Chart Outlines, click OK and look again. You should see small red boxes which show the location of each image.

When the rebuild finishes, zoom way out (using the "-" key) so you can see the regions covered by your GE imagery.

OpenCPN will then scan all your chart directories building its chart index database, which may take a minute or three.
