Display of TWA for best up and down VMG

Anonymous — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 22:41:51 -0000

On tha polar graphic shown in the chart, it would be very useful to have a mark (dot or any symbol) on the TWA with the best down and up VMG. Attached example

Update Toolset documentation

Since the svn conversion, is seems to be difficult to rebuild the project from source.
Eclipse finds parallel projects, the trunk path is not used.

Modern Instruments often use this bus.
Working code can be found in the open skipper project (but in C#)

Write PWX,PWY,WPX,WPY and ERR Lines to the KAP Header

Anonymous — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 19:20:01 -0000

The mapeditor should write these BSB lines to the cap header.
This gives a more compatible map which can also be used in other tools which require these informations

A "spinnaker" polar?

Anonymous — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 17:10:48 -0000

I've only used this software on my boat once so far but thought of one thing I'd like to see:

Could the polar have a second curve, the existing one for the speed with the spinnaker down and a new, second one for what the speed would be if I put the spinnaker up?

I THINK THIS SOFTWARE IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT! Thank you for your hard work!

GRIB & Polar based Routing for Sailboats

Anonymous — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 17:07:02 -0000

It would be great to add the ability to calculate the best possible route considering the boats Polar; the Grib data and waypoints.
This could be achieved by calculating a vector addition along a fixed time increment towards a waypoint similar to the functionality implemented in Expedition or Adrena.

wind direction/speed graphs

Anonymous — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 20:21:05 -0000

Add a line graph for both wind speed and direction. The graphs should be able to be easily changeable for time period (e.g., 5 minutes, 15, 30, 60 120, 240, etc. Very helpful to show oscillations and wind shifts, gusts, etc.

Hello again again

Why not log true nmea input, in gpx file, for replay by simulator ?
