    Motoring and/or motorsailing

    On the Optimal Routing Advanced Settings page there's a section called "Motoring" that is greyed out.

    Any idea of when this feature will be active?

    This is a feature that is very important for me so it would be great to see it working... I've tried one of Campbell's workarounds of building a new polar file with all the boatspeeds modified to indicate motoring speed when it's below a certain speed, but it is not working as well as it should.

    For this reason I use Squid for all my weather routing because the motorsailing function works perfectly, much better than the workaround.

    I hope this feature gets added soon.

    Bill

    Basic, update your version (free). Then try it.

    Thanks Campbell!... I didn't know there was a new version and that this feature was now active... It should make Expedition much more usable for cruisers and deliveries (of course I should try it and make sure it works first!).

    Thanks again,

    Basic

    Re: Motoring and/or motorsailing

    I have just done a windless China Sea crossing and used the motoring routing ( along great circle route) but although the results gave large sectors of motoring, it appeared that the routing only used the boatspeed as if I was sailing. Hence I was always ahead of where routing expected me to be. I may not have had all the settings correct maybe. But I would have thought the boatspeed in the results should have been the minimum motorong speed entered.

    Hello,

    Thanks for pointing that out. Am just posting an update that includes presenting this correctly.
