Thanks.
I've also heard that it doesn't show the calculated sentences from the H5000 cpu correctly. Like true wind data. Which is even worse.
I bought the watch (for the maps), dropped buying the GNT.

Not sure what you are asking for, or if it's a question, but I'll try to clarify:
I am considering to use the Garmin Quatix 6, and get NMEA2k to that device from N2k canbus via the Garmin GNT10 on a network dominated by B&G H5000 hardware. I want to know if anyone else has experience or thoughts about this setup.

Anyone with experience from the above combination of hardware?
Considering buying the watch and GNT10, but interested in hearing if anyone has experience with letting it play with B&G H5000

I have not studied it in detail, so I can only guess; the b&g displays gets the preferred settings from the CPU, is the most likely in my mind. Again, just guessing so don't take it as fact.
I have seen on other systems with NMEA2k-bus that you can choose on each display what sensor to use for different things, so for interoperability between brands works fine if you have a h5k CPU and gnx displays.
(Secretly dreaming that my 20/20 mast displays breaks so I can defend the spend on replacing them with GNX120's)

The equipment vendors market these "easy installation" solutions, and they are easy to install. However, there is a price to pay: they do not give you easy control over the values the sensors transmit.
With my H5000 system this is not a problem (unless there's a caveat I do not know about). I can select the CPU as data source, which does all the calibration, instead of getting the unprocessed data from the sensor.

I often find myself downloading multiple files via the MyGrib dialog, f.ex. weather, current and waves (all from Yr). My workflow is then often to open the MyGrib dialog, select the first file, observe the MyGrib dialog to close while the file is downloaded. Then repeat that a couple more times for each file. If I'm sailing closer to a neighbouring area this could all be up to six files.
Unless there's already a better way for me to do this, I would suggest to add the possibility to select multiple files at once in that dialog.
A more advanced solution could probably be to allow make a preset list to download the multiple files in just one click.
Thanks!

Thanks Sheldon. Yes, there's polars and sail charts as well. But not sure how well the polars are maintained, while the sail chart is up to date and well maintained. I see polars as one answer to the formula, while sail charts are one of many parts to get answer of the formula.
There's load cells as well. I figured I'll use the data to make and print out a table of settings to put up for trimming runners.DuncanR wrote:Noting Sheldon's comments above, before you spend time on the data - I look at a fair bit of this material - two things:
1. Make sure the instruments are measuring accurately, and were doing so at the time the logfile(s) were created;
2. Go sailing and decide what questions you want answered through the data. Data analysis works well when asked pointed questions.What do you use to look at this material? Excel or a specific BI tool? If there's no holy grail to do this, I figured I'd make something that can make the answering a bit quicker while being out on the water.

Hello, I'm in the process of buying a new (used) raceboat. With it there are extensive amounts of logs from expedition over some years. I'm wondering; is there any tools or exp features that can help us getting up to speed faster using all this data?
Questions could be anything from getting a feel of angles used in different conditions to figuring out what canard and keel angle settings to run. Or just gaining an understanding of the performance to expect in general. Input on what to look for in these logs is also appreciated.
I was about to start writing some code to help me analyze logs (as I have lots of time to spare nowadays), but figured I'd ask in the forums first.
Thanks.

Thanks!
For me, the simplest way ended up in the following (on a laptop without a cd-rom):
- Email CMap support to get a download link to their CDs (tip from my local reseller).
- Did the download, mounted the downloaded CD image as a virtual drive (can be done in windows 7 at least) and installed the software on the downloaded CD image.
- And finally selected the chart I wanted, bought it through the program, etc - just as I imagine it would work through having the normal physical CD.
Probably obvious for many, but it wasn't for me
