Some of us have moved our Expedition data directories onto onedrive and use that to keep the files synced on multiple computers.
 

Curious, Sparky, if that works well for you?  I have thought about doing the same via Dropbox but just never had enough confidence to pull the trigger.  

Would you mind sharing which directories/folders you have locally vs in the cloud?

I buy a 2-year-old iPad with at least a 10in screen.  Splashtop works great to connect with our CF-53 downstairs.  I find a case that has a shoulder strap and a hand strap on a swivel.  The primary function of the case is impact protection.  it's about USD500 all in.  Plan to replace every 2 years.  iPads don't like being wet- with or without a waterproof case- touch screen usability just becomes a nightmare.  I store the iPad in a waterproof bag on deck if waves are coming over the bow.  More often than not, I use a chest harness with a drop-down sleeve for the iPad.

Can you post a link to download 11.18.6 for those of us still running Win7 (eek!).  Thanks!

Ok.  good to know.  

Maybe I have a problem with where I am setting the dampening parameter.  In Settings/Channels, I set the relevant vars to 10s and then 15s to test extreme situations.  I never got damped data on GNXs.  

The Number Boxers on the PC, when set to system damping, show the seconds value I selected in settings.  So, i think i am setting the dampening correctly but not sure.

What would be the first thing you would troubleshoot to try to get damped data up on the GNXs?

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the quick reply, Nick.  

In Settings/Instruments/Actisense, I have send damped data selected in both the N2K PGN page and the Custom Page (each radio box next to the channel I am sending).  I do not see damped data at the GNXs.  Is there another place where I need to be changing the settings?

I use a laptop to publish BSP and Heel Targets to my GNX120s via Actisense and Garmin Custom Channels.  Is this the best practice?  I don't believe I can send them via my H5000 Herc to the GNX Displays.  

Is there a way to change the dampening and precision that are displayed on the GNX120s?  The dampening I apply in Settings>Channels does not appear in the GNX Displays.  From a quick read of the GNX manuals, it doesn't look like their dampening feature applies to custom channels.  Am I missing something?

My objective is to get Target BSP displayed with 1 decimal precision and damped x seconds.  

Thanks in advance for any tips!

I run EXP on a 2021 M1 MacBook Pro via Parallels and it works great.  Can connect to boat WiFi or Hardwire and get the boat and AIS data just fine.  Happy to answer any questions on my set-up.

The Times in the tracking window see abit off... Not sure why, Maybe Nick can take a look ??


edit:  Seems off if 11th Hour are the reference boat, cause for some reason the position reports are very old for 11th Hour (back to the 12th Jan 15:40)

selecting any other boat as the reference and all works, just no positions for 11th Hour.

Thanks for finding the YB codes.  Does anyone have an idea why 11.2 (both trackers) seems to be not reporting?

Does anyone have The Ocean Race tracking info that can be used in EXP?
