General Discussion » GPS Dongle - Toughpad - Expedition Connection » 5/31/2022 3:24 am

Hi All
​Post closed for me.

Sorted, was confusing port by using GPS Viewer to establish GPS working and leaving it on.

Also thanks to article by Greg Brougham on Google search it was a case of going to NMEA 0183 and getting rid of some confusion over Windows sensors box checked, then up she came in Exp Raw Data andf then on Chart.

Link to article .pdf if anyone has similar problem and picks this up here or on "GPS Dongle Expedition" search.

Thanks Simon.

My replacement (Used) Toughpad has come without GPS (schoolboy error not checking ) Normally i VNC etc on deck as normal but it is handy on the odd occasion to have it operate as a stand alone. I have a dongle ND100s. I can get a good position fix in GPS Viewer so it is working. Blowed if i can get it to find it in Exp. Suspect i am doing something wrong or its not possible how i am doing it. Pics attached showing dongle working and the Exp Instruments panel. I know it is getting the signal through com port 4 but don’t know what to tell the Exp instruments panel to look for on Com 4. To save me trying every option and still failing anyone got previous from a laptop installation for instance?

Not sure if my link will work.

Questions about Expedition features » Problems using predict wind » 1/06/2022 6:16 am

Hi I am on the new download Exp 11.14.05 and Expedition weather downloads are working ok for me.
I can't seem to download anything from Saildocs though. Has something changed or is something down.
I notice the empty grib file in the folder is showing up with an unusual extension ie. "SD_GFS_06Jan22_140011.grb.bz2" but no Kb of data.

Any ideas or should I start a new thread? Came across this after nothing new came up on "Saildocs" search.

Software Releases » Optimal Routing Motoring Option » 4/18/2021 1:05 pm

Hi All
downloaded latest version today.
In Optimal routing advanced, has the tick box for motoring if under fixed sailing speed moved recently or has it gone missing?
Thanks Simon

Hi sure its me missing something simple.
I just downloaded a forecast from the Exp weather and get "No Wind at Start" error in optimal. I downloaded the same from SailDocs and it works without changing any settings. Tried 1st leg in case I ran out of wind. Checked 1st mark in the water (done that before) Checked in grib folder and the file is there, with content. 

Any ideas seems a recent change.

Questions about Expedition features » Reloading Routes and Marks after PC Change » 1/10/2020 5:51 am

Hi All
not sure if something has changed or i have forgotten how to do it.
Changed office PC, reloaded all software, Exp charts etc all functions ok, i have tried to reload copied routes and marks. Marks go over in one big file although they seem to have transferred over in individual mark folders. Route / course names have transferred but are empty of marks just showin "x-loop" when opened. I am fairly sure i have had to do this before after crashes and the transfer worked ok. What am i missing or was i dreaming? Tried reload latest software etc re-boot etc. I still have access on the old PC (until i bin it) to the original version with course and marks all are showing and intact, the export lets me save all routes and marks to a file, about 1mb.

Any ideas, no rush, race boat not affected all still there, would like to avoid re building all my old courses if possible.
Thanks.
Simon.
