Got it now - the default track for other boat I could not see against chart background (seems to use colour of boat) - I changed to a contrasting colour and can now see it. Thanks.

I can see other boats in "Tracks" - is there a way to display for only mapped boats/boats in "Boat tracking" - I can only seem to get all other AIS target tracks or no other tracks.

I am interested if this exists also - tried the other day, but could only find trails for all AIS targets, and ability to toggle AIS on/off. Toggle off kept the AIS targets mapped to boats, but did not draw trails/tracks for those.
Anyone work this out?

Which charts are you using?
Will do a soak test with Navionics just now, so far nothing seen though.
It may be worth using the Exp system restore app. Note that you can save settings form the menu at the top left of Exp.Navionics AU/NZ. Also switched to AUSENC no change
I just upgraded from 12.4.3 on my Getac v110 with 16GB ram, I ran for last hour and memory use was a constant low 700MB.
I updated that one to 12.4.6 and straight away the memory is climbing, last 15 mins gone 700MB to 1000MB and climbing. (in 5 mins of writing this, is now 1350MB )
I have just run a system restore of all 4 registry settings only, and after restart, memory is back on the climb.
UPDATE - redid the restore again and seems to have slowed the creep substantially. Seems save cofig doesn`t keep the connection settings as they are all defaulted now, even after loading config back.
UPDATE 2 - I have reconfigured basic instrument settings and AISstream to test. Memory use is growing but at a lot lesser rate than earlier so will see how long runs for.

Not sure if related but Exp 12.4.6 Navionics has started crashing for me and I am noting memory usage gradually increase over ~ 12 hours until application exits. I am running stripchart disabled and issue still occurring.
Win 11 32GB ram
Am going to test another device/install to see if issue occurs.

Tide trend in number box is great - Thanks!
Down the track, if there was a way to have a link to nearest tide station - either in the right click on chart menu, wxdata or meteogram maybe, that opened the tide station predictions to the nearest tide station to you (as per number box), that would be perfect!

It can then be shown in a number box.
Thanks - is that the Tide Station number box? I have had this in my display for some time, but don`t recall it updating every 30s, so would be nice.
Would also be good to find the nearest tide station in the right click alt menu or some other method (I haven`t found a way to do this). The xtide stations are just a dot so get hidden on the charts. I enabled dynamic icons for Navionics, so it displays the tide icon clearly now as well as height, rising or falling arrow,, but I have to enable every time open /restart Exp, but a way to quickly jump/link to nearest station would be good. Only way I found to do is to go WX data -> tide stations, expand list, manually search for station.

Does the current Exp version support the x-tide file as used in OpenCPN - Is in program files (x86) tc data and is called HARMONICS_NO_US . Also tried an older HARMONICS.txt and no go
Trying to get working on another boats install, using 12.1.11 Navionics, and exp sees the file, can check it but doesn`t import Australian tide stations under x-tide. Is weird because works on my installs (which have been upgraded fro a tie where this harmonics file did work)
