Perhaps helpful?  As I am experimenting with Glasswire, it seems Host Process for Windows Services needs to be enabled for Expedition.  I am guessing this is DNS related.  Without that enabled, I get the "The server name or address could not be resolved."

Thanks Campbell.  I loaded Glasswire last night.   Great tool.  I was able to pretty quickly define an Offshore profile allowing only Expedition and XGate traffic to the WAN connection.   .

Folks.  I am about to put a SIM into our new Exec w/ dual mode antenna, then put Expedition and XGate through a few tests.  A couple questions re: the previous posts.

- Overage.  I was told by BlueCosmos/Roadpost that you don't get shutoff when you hit your limits, just charged extra usage fees.

- Why is something like Glasswire needed?  The Exec contain a firewall.

BTW not impressed with the build quality of the antenna nor the Exec cradle mount.

Thanks

My boat is upgrading from the Go to the Go Exec (we can't afford the Starlink power budget).  I have an Exec in hand, but yet to load a SIM (soon).  Our workflows have been entirely XGate based with the old Go, but we'll start testing Direct to Internet with Exp and the Exec.  It seems with the Exec that we need to manually connect at the Exec, do our business in Exp or XGate, then disconnect the Exec, correct?  Even with a Metered Connection and only the PC connected to the Exec, it is not clear how to prohibit all but Exp or XGate traffic from the PC when the connection is open.  Is anyone able to offer guidance re: proper configuration of the Exec firewall?  Or am I overly concerned about the unwanted bandwidth usage?  Cheers

To update, after using it onboard while racing, I wouldn't use anything else. Happy to find that carbon sails had no significant effect when mounted on the transom. 

With that, it would be beneficial to add functionality within Expedition to take advantage of the higher bandwith availability.

I'm curious, what is the electrical system powering your install?  AFAIK Starlink requires somewhere between 6 and 10 amps to power?  Cheers

Go user here looking at an Exec upgrade for 2024 events.  Do I understand that the Go external antenna is not compatible with the Exec?  Our workflow has all our data incoming from XGate email, so I believe we avoid "data sucking" problem.  Cheers

Use the JSON option with a suitably large number of positions

Brilliant.  Worked great.

Now is there a way to step through (fwd, rev, etc.) the YB tracks just as I can with Weather data?

Folks.  Is there a way to import YB tracking into Exp after an event concludes?  We did not capture a full set of YB data during the event, and would like to analyze the tactics of a few of the other boats in the event.  Cheers

I too usually download GRIBs with Expedition forming the Saildocs email request for my XGate subscription.  Then import the GRIB file attached to the response.

Thanks Ernie.  After I set the ref boat, YB Download works fine.  Taking this opportunity to practice, I also tried Saildocs for a position update.  Importing that file (which appears to be correct), Exp complains unable to open boat ID file.  Cheers
