Send waypoints - Expedition through NGT-1 to B&G Vulcan

When using the Send WP to Instrument button, only 11 WP are transferred correctly and visible in the Vulcan MFD. The remaining WP's are gone. There will also be a few null-WP with garbage-text present in the WP-list. It does not seem to matter if the total number of WP's are 23 or 85 for example. The behavior is consistent over 2 different Vulcan MFD's and most SW/drivers are up to scratch; the number 11 is universal ;-).

B&G support do not have anything to add, but to maybe try a higher than standard NGT-1 baud rate.

Any thoughts on what to do?

Re: Send waypoints - Expedition through NGT-1 to B&G Vulcan

The Actisense NGT-1 has a maximum message size. I suspect this is what is being exceeded.

Making the names smaller should give you some more. 15 seems to be the upper limit - from testing with mark names of just one character.

I see Exp isn't truncating the waypoint number value, which might explain the gibberish at the B&G end. Fixed for the next update.
