Thanks for your reply.  I never should have mentioned the Zeus.  

The Zeus is not part of my question.  (I guess it might be part of the answer?  But, I don't think so.)

I am looking for a way to get Expedition and my H5000 pilot to work with each other.  (Ex. I would like to create a route with one waypoint and be able to tell the Pilot to navigate towards that waypoint using the "Nav" pilot mode.)

Thanks for your response. Those posts are close but not addressing my primary goal of passing an active waypoint from expedition to the h5000 pilot.

I can send waypoint info to the displays via across, but the pilot doesn’t seem to pick that up.

I can send the waypoint to my Zeus but I really don’t care about the Zeus. It’s here primarily for radar.

I’m looking for a “simple” way to have expedition and the h5000 pilot work together.

Open to any suggestions. Thanks again.

Wow.  No response at all?  I can't believe that I am the only one that has tried to make this work.  Perhaps its so simple that nobody wants to embarrass me by pointing out the easy solution.

I'm sorry if this has already been covered, but my searches here have found nothing.

I have just installed a new H5000 system on my boat after 20+ good H2000 years.  All is working fine, but I am having trouble getting the H5000 system to use/view the Expedition waypoint for Pilot navigation.

I have figured out how to transfer my waypoints to a Zeus MFD, and then create a route on the Zeus using those waypoints which is then picked up by the pilot.  But, that is far from an optimal solution.

Is there any way to have Expedition identified as a Navigation Source to simplify the process??

(I've installed the new Hercules Processor if that makes a difference.)

thanks for any help.

And now....a few hours later and everything is working as per normal.
Please forget that I wasted a few minutes of your time.

Thanks for the quick response!

I've used the h2000 setting for years?

It looks like I'll lose the ability to send to B&G external channels?? 

I do like that feature!

Disclaimer:  I've just relaunched and reconnected the cable running up my mast to my wind instruments.  This may be a connection issue, but...

I have an H2000 system onboard.  Old yes, but it's been bulletproof.

After getting everything connected, I started Expedition and noticed that the TWS on Expedition seemed to be alternating between an accurate value, no value, and something at least 2X reality.

TWS displays just fine on my B&G ffd's and Zeus mfd.

Then when I switch the configuration from H2000 Perf to H690 the wind speed displays as it should?

Any suggestions??

PS>  I saved "raw data" files for both settings but can't find a way to attach them here.

Thank you.

Apologies.  I was working off an older version of the manual onboard.  Should have checked the latest before posting.  I see it there now.

Looking for suggestions here.  Lately (at least the last few releases) Cross Track Error in my Expedition display is incorrect or simply missing.

When XTE is small (e.g. .2nm) XTE seems to round down to zero.  When it is large (e.g. 1.5nm) XTE is very small.

My routes are created only on Expedition.  There is a previous and next mark, and I have a solid GPS position.

Network includes B&G H2000, Vesper Cortex, Zeus3.

Any suggestions of what to look for would be appreciated.  

Thanks!

PS.  I have screen shots but can't figure out how to include them.

Should I upgrade to windows 11 or wait?
