Thanks for all the help so far as I really want to master all the tracking and race relative position options (AIS and YBT). Sticking to YBT

Ernie's guide gave me clue to allow stepping through on display the historic YBT positions in shorter time steps. Got this one.

I understand I can't time display range, bearing etc that is available in the window. Is there a way to export all the info and time steps is a CSV file so that we could use excel outside Expedition for time plot? 

There is an export button but only exports displayed time step as CSV. Could use this to export each time step and consolidate outside Expedition but would of course be quicker if we could export whole data file in one CSV

The raw YBT data is available is single file from YBT JSON but this does not have all the derived calcs on relative positions/differences/gains etc that Expedition nicely provides

Expedition appears to have the information already calculated and is presented if you go Sail tab then tracking and select latest or older time ... there is COG DOG SOG VMC DMG  DIFF GAIN BRG RNG iSOG iCOG lat lon  ... for boats selected

Same data is available back in time at each YBT time step

So all I need is how to turn this into a time plot

Suggestions?  Can it be done via strip chart which would make sense?

Thanks for bread crumb trail through the wood .... now I know what to look for I found them and can use when in AIS tracking range

Back to my questions on analysing/presenting/displaying YBT data similarly when out of AIS range (Q5 and Q6)   .... can you help with this?

bolt of light .... strip chart is obvious display tool

To help me further (I am not on the boat right now)

Do I just select a parameter like SOG and boat from AIS tracking list from drop down list on right side of drop down box?

This works for SOG

I don't see a bearing or range parameter ... what am I missing

Thanks for help

I should maybe not introduced an AIS tracking question at end of my YBT but to clarify 

Q2

Q5 .... my question is about YBT data display (range) that Expedition calculates and displays in race tracking dialogue box but not showing in tool tip pop up  .... nothing to do with AIS tracking

Q6 .... no answer ..... YBT info question    ......  Is there an easy way to display change from YBT in bearing and range from us as reference boat and others in time plot style to monitor changes? ?   The data is available for each time step in your race tracking dialogue box

Q7 .... the only AIS tracking question  .... Is there an easy way to display change from AIS  in bearing and range from our boat to others in time plot style to monitor changes?

Oops ... Q 5 should just have read

5. Tool tip held over other boats gives time, coords, GPS COG and SOG and Expedition Calculated Trk COG and SOG ..... can it be made to display range to reference boat like it is provided if we open race tracking dialogue box ?

AIS got inserted in wrong spot .. just Q7

Thanks Nick ... helping he work through how to improved boat tracking

Re Q1 ... I did what you suggested and can step through with weather controls but limited to 60minute step and nothing shorter?. I can also enter display time manually for say 10 or 20 minute steps but quite slow. 
Q3 and Q4 now working.
Q2 ... you did not answer ... is there a way?

A few questions about YBT display in Expedition which I am sure have simple answers about which tab/box etc to select

1. During a race or after a race how do I "replay" the history time steps to see how the fleet moved down their tracks.
2. When doing this replay can I just view the track to the time step like YBT/club website trackers do .... hiding the track yet to be sailed in future time steps
3. How to I get the boat names to appear on the YBT tracks
4. Can we display boat icons at the last YBT position again like YBT/club websites

This is in the category ... I think I used to be able to do this but can't remember how. !
