Yes, with some fiddling with the presets I could get a good setup. Thanks for the advices! Only the divider then...

Having used the night theme in Expedition on some dark night english channel sailing, I must say it works really good, especially compare to some earlier version. It would be great to get some minor adjustments:

* Dividers - something yellor, pink or equiv would be much better than the dark blue against black background
* Currents - having light gray or similar would show up a lot better against black background compared to the black arrows.

If there are workarounds that I have missed, please let me know.

I understand. In my case it was a case of a start that already happened. It seems like it is possible to set a future start so I will be careful to set this up beforehand.

I am trying to get the tracking/handicap to work. When I in the "Boat" dialogue try to set the start time to gun, a dialog box with "No gun set" comes up.

I have obviously run a start sequence and can see in the event list that a gun has been fired previously. I have also populated the boat list with the appropriate handicaps...

Any hints of what I might do wrong?

I am trying to dig down the latest version of GoFree specification. A google does not come up with any valid information. I am primarily interested in the channel number list.

I have a version of the document "GoFree-Tier2-Toolkit.pdf" but it is only listing B&G channels up to 303 and from "H5000_config.xml" Expedition is obviously using B&G channels up to 511.

Any pointers are welcome.

Questions about Expedition features » Weather boat positions through DLL » 7/01/2025 10:12 am

I am trying to inject weather stations wind data and position through the DLL. (I am actually using the python wrapper). For that I need to select ExpDLL as the GPS source.

My own boat will most likely get its position from another source than the DLL. This makes it necessary to select the instrument system as the GPS source. 

Would it be possible to set Expedition up that the GPS selection only applies for boat0 ? Or would it compromise other user's setup?

As I understand the zoom level is fixed when choosing either "follow" or "ahead" mode in "Charts | Selection mode". It would be great if "Scale in" and "Scale out" were still available if these modes.

”Reading the log file” ?

If you mean after sailing you can transform Expedition’s own log format (that is a kind of condensed csv format) to a more normal csv file through “Tools” / “Extract log data”

If you mean access sailing data while sailing, then you can set up a suitable output (most simple is data in Expedition format) through a tcp or udp stream through a network connection.

Finally you could always develop something using the Expedition DLL. I have done it using different environments: Visual Basic, Visual C# and python.
