Incorrect Boatspeed with H5000 Performance
I have a B&G H5000 system with a single paddle wheel for boatspeed. I have calibrated my boatspeed in the B&G system and it seems fairly close, but the value displayed in Expedition is very different (say 25% faster). In the B&G system my current correction factor from the raw boatspeed is ~35% (ie, about 1/3 of the raw number ).
I need Expedition to use the base B&G boatspeed -- anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

Re: Incorrect Boatspeed with H5000 Performance
How is Expedition connected to the h5000 - HLink? NMEA2000? NMEA0183?

It is connected by H-Link.

Re: Incorrect Boatspeed with H5000 Performance
Do you have any calibration selected in Exp?
Have you looked at the HLink raw data. BSP is HLink channel 65 I think.

Re: Incorrect Boatspeed with H5000 Performance
No calibration is selected in Expedition. Here is an example of the H-Link raw data being received by Expedition - note this is at the dock.

Re: Incorrect Boatspeed with H5000 Performance
Curiosity... did u ever get this solved? I'm having an issue using the Exp calibration function for Bsp, and obviously need help. For example, why does this array not change the displayed Bsp?
