	I will post a gpx file for each race, here and on the soltools blog - here. Each file will include marks for the start and finish line (both ends plus a mid point) and all course marks/waypoints, and a route defining the sctual course. I will endevour to post them within 24 hours of race announcement. Edit: just realised this is posted in wrond board - can someone please move to the races forum? perhaps sticky it to?? --- Last Edited by Aaron Gage at 2011-03-29 06:58:03 --- I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	AGage - what is a gpx file please?I just tried to open it from the Forum link and it wouldn't open. It is not a file necessary for SOL and by making a totally new thread for whatever this is is likely to confuse newbies to SOL, just as it is confusing for me!! If this is a file just for use with your software then please may I suggest that you make a link to it (and all the others to come) on your own server/computer and let folks access it through your Toolkit? Just as brainaid's Toolbox is accessible totally off-SOL, so yours should be too Your tools/software aren't easily findable at the moment so rather than have several threads/posts, which is both inappropriate and confusing, please would you bring all your links etc into one thread which we can then make a sticky at the top of this forum for a while so folks can get used to looking for and using it. The other advantage of having just one "source" for your software is we could add a link to it via the Links Tab here on the homepage as has been done with other super-helpful info. --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-03-29 11:27:04 ---

	GPX is for GPS Exchange Format and is supported by many GPS and 3D viewers. Google Earth can import and display those files.

	AG... I tried to open the .gpx through GE and it still would not happen. What does a GPX file show? I could not even find it in the folder it was supposedly "saved" to (even when I went to that folder from GE directly). Weird.

	Yep, sorry SP I posted the wrong file above, BWR also saves its races in gpx and I mistakenly uploaded that oops. RC, it is just the race in a very common xml format for navigational software, nothing to do with my own tools which aren't even ready to be made public yet, or I would have done exactly as you say. Besides, mine dont make use of any data not available directly from SOL. I did first post it on the blog, but as it is just a file containing the course waypoints i decided maybe some would appreciate them on this forum to. I will not post future races here, but they will be available from the blog page. Sorry for those who downloaded and couldnt use it, this one is pure GPX: --- Last Edited by Aaron Gage at 2011-03-29 16:41:34 --- I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__ Attachments IMOCA_GLOBE_L6__.gpx (1.9 KB)

This is exactly why I created the wordpress blog - although it wasnt to get a link here on sailonline but that would be nice... a few more benefits of making the blog too - comments etc, but primarily just a single location for everything.

	AGage - do you still want this thread moved to Races Forum? If so I can do that. Are you happy with all the tools available via your blog? If so,I will add a link to it under the Links "link" (you know what I mean) in the blue banner across the Homepage and Forum pages.

	Yep, a link would be good thanks... I will just make these gpx files available from there if you like, perhaps this thread will just serve as a notice to SOLers they are available and where... Sorry if I caused any problems posting this here... I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
