Hi!

Anyone experience a number of blue dots remaining in race areas and the number of blue dots is growing over time if racing in the same area. The blue dots never disappears, just become more and more. My theory is it is some type of leftover from Start & W/L marks removed/moved. Does anyone know if there is a preference or any other mean to remove/hide the dots?

Currently on Exp 11.16.0 but have seen it in several releases back.

In the Expedition manual under the Calibration section, it states, "Note that Expedition will store raw instrument values of Bsp, Twa and Tws in their own channels, which are logged and can be useful for later analysis." I have all sensors (log, wind, compass, gps, etc.) on NMEA 2000 network and calibrate in Expedition (no other processor), what will be stored in the logfile?
 
The Expedition manual mention Measured Wind Angle (MWA) and Measured Wind Speed (MWS), what is present and logged on those channels?
 
Just a so I understand the documentation, in the Appendix A it states, "AWA Apparent wind angle. If selected under calibration, will be Expedition's internally calculated and calibrated value." Does it mean that Expedition only performs AWA re-calculations if the checkbox is select (with or without calibration values), else raw AWA data?

Hope it is OK to piggyback on this topic. If using Expedition to calculate AWA, TWA and TWD, corrected for Roll and Pitch, what would be a reasonable update frequency of Roll and Pitch? In my case, I have an NMEA 2000 network directly connected to PC/Expedition via Actisense NGT. The Wind sensor provide AWA_raw in 20 Hz, BSP in 4 Hz, and Heading (T) in 10 Hz.

I have a NMEA 2000 network with an Airmar DX900+ sensor. The sensor provides the 130578 Vessel Speed Components sentence. When I activate the Vessel Speed Components sentence in PGNs receivable by Exp, the BSP value in Expedition shows roughly 50% of expected BSP. Looking in Actisense NMEA Reader, it seems that Expedition shows the Meter per second rather than Knots. My Speed Unit is set to Knots in Expedition. If I change the Speed Unit to Meter per second in Expedition, the BSP value is even additional 50% lower. It seems that Expedition reads the Meter per second value coming out of the NMEA2000 Vessel Speed Component but shows it as Knots
.
In PGNs receivable by Exp I have activated both 128259 & 130578.
I want the Vessel Speed Component for Leeway calculation, not necessary for BSP.

Is this a bug or a feature

I have Expedition version 11.0.11
I have an Actisense NGT-1
I run all on Windows 10 Pro 1909

I'm trying to send data from Expedition to Garmin GNX120 over NMEA2000 (NGT-1). I have no sensors connected, to the network, only displays. Running in simulation mode to generate data. In Expedition data is updated at a rather high frequency. The GNX120 seems to update in 0.25Hz (every 4th second).. When sending the same data over a custom channel I get an update every 6th second. I have no damping in Expedition. I have the latest firmware in the NGT-1. What update frequency could I expect with NGT-1 and GNX120.
