yb tracker short code import
Hello:
I am tracking the Vic Maui race as a test. I have the boats set up including a reference boat which I created using the yb tracking option at first using a high speed connection.
When I attempt to import position reports via the y/b short code link I get an "unable to open boat id file" error message.

What is the code you are using for the race?

Re: yb tracker short code import
When I open the files in Notepad, they appear to be correct. Someone on the forum in an older post suggested that both files had to be in the same folder. I have them both in the same folder on my desktop.
I cant import the boat ids file into Expedition.
When I use the regular YB tracking feature in Exp and the code vicmaui2018, the boat id's load fine as a starting point, I set a reference boat and they display on the schedule. However, when I try to import position file via the above I get the boat id error message and can't update.
