In working with the Boatid file, I have not found a easy way to download the handicaps, but I did figure out that if I edit the boatid file in a spreadsheet and add the class and handicap i could reload the file and have those values populated. I have not figured out the format of the start times and polar file name. For example Cabo and Transpac have multiple start times and days.
Next question, what's the format of the file for loading all of the fields? Can it be done?
For example,
boatID, boat name, Class, handicap, start time, Pol %, polar file.
Thanks

FYI - I had the same problem. The solution was to call C-map support. It took 3 days for support to figure it out. Bottom line, they sent me a invoice, which I paid and I had to send them the Chart license request key and then they sent me the key.
It took awhile, but it now works.

quick question, what charts would be best for close-up work? we have a virtual finish for a race but if you can't zoom in enough you may miss the finish. this could be an issue with the chart I'm using because this is a finish in Mexico and i have not been able to find a good chart yet.
Thanks

FYI - I'm seeing the same thing. I'm on a new computer and I am using ENC charts, but I can't zoom in more than 16:1 which means I can see any separation between finish marks.
Any ideas? I'm on 11.15.4
Thanks

Good question, i did not see that setting before, but it is set to 8. But I then did something a little different, I chose "Ensemble" and now multiple routes are showing up and staying and when I now choose Optimize, the new routes are showing up. Before it only showed the last 2 routes. It now seems to be working correctly,
Thanks
Steve

All,
Not sure what I'm missing, and I had this working before, but each time I download a new grib file and create a new optimize route the old routes get deleted and I can't find them or display them.
I do have "load previous optimal routes at startup" checked.
The only routes that show up on the results page is the latest run, all others are gone.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Not 100% sure which item fixed it, but I did the Expedition System restore app and then I got sharing violation on the JSON tracking file. I removed all of the JSON file and restarted Expedition and now everything is working again. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

FYI - I did try another upgrade to 10.11.7 and it still crashed when it finishes downloading the YB updates. Next, I'll try the restore option and keep you posted.

Nick,
I am using the transpac2019 code. I noticed that it starts the download then crashes and sometimes it restarts. I don't know if the restart is related to checking the multiple positions pr not. I'll need to rerun some more tests. My boat laptop is a Microsoft Surface with windows 10. As DuncanR mentions, I also noticed that the GRIB files that I did just download are not in use, I need to re-select them. That could be that is was in memory but not saved somewhere.
As for the xml file, i did not change anything. where can I check that?
Thanks

I'm trying to follow the updates in YB tracking for Transpac but when I use the YB tracking in expetition for the Transpac race, expedition crashes as it does the download. I did upgrade to `10.11.6 but it is still doing the same thing. Expedition crashes, but when I restart expedition, the latest positions are now on the map.
Any ideas?
Also, when using multiple positions, does anyone know how many in a 24 hr window?
