	Hi Royagui, You shouldn't have to register on the VLM website when you use QtVLM with a "real" boat (instead of a VLM boat). Can you read the error message, or does the program close too fast? I'd be very helpful to find out what the error message says. I know a couple of other routers but QtVLM is a very good one (at least for virtual sailing it is), don't give up on it just yet

	Whats the method to get your SOL yacht to feed positions into QTLVM? Found the TCP/IP proxy from brainaid, but it looks like QtLMV only supports serial. Is there a tool to emulate, and can it be done? Thanks

	Viva Kipper1258. I use the Franson GpsGate 2.6 program, namely, for sending NMEA data over TCP/IP to qTVlm, (http://gpsgate.com/support/client_users_guide). It has also other useful functions. Sail Fair.

	Next one for our experts out there. What's the technique to add a second real boat to qtLVM? All I seem to be able to do is delete my existing boat. Thanks

	I've tried that once. QtVLM seems to have some options for multiple boats, but I couldn't get it to work, so I used the method some other QtVLM user was using: installing multiple instances of QtVLM... I'm not sure how (if at all) that works with NMEA data and ports and all...

	Viva kipper and Huib. QtVlm dosen't allow more than 1 "real boat" sailing at the same time. Anyhow it permits to have "n" different boats ("n" different boats polar data) but all with the same name. So the AIS function dosen't work for following the other boats. Only your own boat via the TCP/NMEA link. With OpenCPN you have both options. A routing prog to look for. Be well. Sail Fair.

	I notice qtLVM can load marks in ZyGrib or GeoData format. Anyone know what these formats are. I use two computers in different locations and want to be able to load my marks into each one through a single file.I can't seem to find a reference to what the file looks like Thanks in advance

	Just found poiReal.dat which appears to store all the POI's. I think I can maintain a master copy on one computer and overwrite on the other.

	Just tested copying poiREAL and works - it also contains the routes and barriers which is a bonus. --- Last Edited by Kipper1258 at 2015-07-28 03:22:23 ---

The Beagle in Mauritius 2024

And west, forever following the sun, the Beagle went once more to next explore Australia, but since online we already regularly race the length and breadth of that wee dinkum continent’s coasts, we will delay launching our Tall Ship Class B until the Beagle reaches Mauritius, which she did on 29 April 1836. Darwin explored the island and its coral reefs extensively. We’ll better that by sailing some 450nm to Reunion and back, for a better appreciation of this remote archipelago, inhabited mostly by descendants of French and English colonists and Indian convicts and political prisoners.
