Does anybody have any experience of loading ROUTES as well as WPTs from Expedition to Zeus3?
I have an actisense ngt1 but no H5000 stuff.

thanks Bob

I have re-read the Triton2 operator manual. I can now see that what the author should have said was:

" True Wind Angle

>> note the TWA calibration option is only available if an H5000 is connected to the system."

According to verbal discussions with B&G Support I expect the "built in TW calibration" on the WS310/WS320 to 
still self calibrate and correct locally for the B&G Triton2 and Zeus3 displays without an H5000 CPU.. When and if it works, I will add a note to these pages and to SailAnarchy, Hopefully B&G would then sometime update the documentation.

thanks BobB
 

Ws320: just spoke with b&g uk support in Eastleigh. They say that zeus3 can be set to do the TWS/TWS calc using Speed, Heading  etc on N2k bus and then push results back onto n2k to any connected instruments inc Triton2.  Alternatively you can set triton2  to do it but then results will be local just to that instrument . I expect you’re right about the dubious accuracy without extra calibration! The Triton2 manual they just sent me is obviously wrong!

Re race routes:  it seems that the combination of EXP with the nexus NX2  navigator represents a high water mark in functionality that no one else is going to reach. I know that Nexus released the API for their software to Nick enabling him to do this And I doubt it’s possible via Nmea 2000 protocols.
Obviously if B&G can write a bit of code to import way points and routes from an SD card, they could do the same to import them from a PC file to an MFD. But I guess it’s unlikely to be near the top of their priority list! Perhaps we should count ourselves lucky as racers that they created the bulk import option .

I think I’m going to have to retain my NX2 navigator and server for as long as possible! Thanks Bob

Does anybody know how to load a race route including
fixed and movable marks from Expedition to a B and G
system inc  Triton2 instruments and Zeus3 plotter.
I am getting rid of all (almost) of my Nexus instruments and 
replacing with B and G including Triton2 displays and a WS 320 wind pack. 
I would prefer to find a way to replace the excellent Nexus nx2  navigator
 with something that will
 hold a complete route full of waypoints 
exported from Exp?
thanks Bob

Yes, Garmin does own Navionics. Apparently it is far from trivial to make the systems work together. Nothing is likely  to happen very soon.PM if you want to discuss more.
And how can I get Exp calibrated for P vs S boat speed please. Bob
