    Trying to import qtvlm route.csv file into AGL but getting below error message:

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.lang.Integer.intValue()" because the return value of "java.util.Hashtable.get(Object)" is null

    Not sure what i am doing wrong. Checked the separator and the heading and seems to be as per manual
    .
    .
    I suspect that this is related to the encoding of the file being changed in qtVlm which was not updated in AGL. This has been fixed in AGL25. Please update to the latest version and check again. If the problem persists, please raise the issue in the thread under Technical Discussion specifically for AGL related issues. Please include the stack trace again and a copy of the csv you are using.

    Saltheart Ripper I'll be, with a cask of rum soaked kipper.

    Arrr, Saltheart Ripper! A fierce name, though packin' rum-soaked kipper in the hold of the mighty Falkun might clear the deck faster than a broadside! May yer salty heart rip through the Caribbean waves as ye slalom the rum islands straight to Cancun. Hoist the sails and let the plunder begin!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Cocos to Sagar Island


Kapil Muni, incarnation of Lord Vishnu, founder of the Samkhya school of philosophy, disturbed from his meditation, in his wrath reduced the 60,000 sons of Sagar to ashes, as they dug the earth to retrieve the sacrificial horse that Lord Indra, the king of the Gods, stole off Sagar, thus creating the Sagara (ocean). Aeons later, Bhagiratha, a descendant of Sagara, asked Ganga to cleanse the ashes of the 60,000 princes, and her resultant torrential fall from heaven created the great river and where it met the ocean, the princes’ souls were washed and raised to heaven and Gangasagar (Sagar Island) was formed. So, let us join the pilgrimages to Kapi Muni’s Temple (see above) and race 2400nm from Cocos Island deep in the Sagara thence, in rather rapid Rapido 60s.
