Thank you ,both maitai & Bimmer for the incredible interest, co-operation & work done! IMHO, the greatest improvement was linking SOL wind - we sail with the wind SOL gives us, I believe...
Again, thank you both for this great router

I believe we have a problem with exporting the .csv file. I get this from kroppyers converter:

ERROR: Time conversion failed, trying to continue. DCs could be wrong.
ERROR: Can't find TWA values in the file, trying to continue. DCs could be wrong.
ERROR: Can't find COG values in the file, trying to continue. DCs could be wrong.
TWA:

Viva all.

The “problema” - if we can call it like that - was the addition of an extra column (“GUSTS”) in the generated CSV file after the release of the 3.5.6 qT version.
Once again, as already suggested, it should be possible to customize the columns to be generated in the output CSV file.
IMHO there are #12 columns in the CSV file that we don’t need at all, and only contribute to heavier files.

When you have a problem with the converter, please send me the csv file that is causing the problem, then I can have a look at what may be causing the issue.
Otherwise, all I can do is guess:
Does the csv use a different kind of separator? e.g. "," instead of ";" (I believe it used to be ";", but I'm not sure, maybe it used to be ",")

It's 5mn to record a small excel macro that will get rid of the columns you don't want each time you load it.

C’mon Phillipe,

Generate first to remove after doesn’t make much sense.

Can you explain me why do we need to have these columns: Sail/Engine, SOG, COG, AWS, AWA, CS, CD, GUSTS, RAIN, COMB WAVES HGT, MAX WAVES HGT and last, MAX WAVES DIR?

Wouldn’t it be more logical/practical/quicker to each one have the possibility to choose the route output columns?

Thank you.
Sail Fair.

These data were asked from people who are using qtVlm IRL. Rain for instance has been the subject of a big debate in the past month (how to count it), or waves, currents, etc. Recently gusts and pressure were also requested and added. One can also imagine air/sea temperature, cloud cover, dew point, pollution, and much more. We will therefore probably continue to add more columns. It's easier to ignore data you don't care about than to look after them if you need it. Size of the file is not an issue, being between really small and just small.

Actually, there is a bug in headers when you ask a route export with raw data. I don' want to push a new patched version for PC now (Android and iOS versions have been patched already), but if you need a working version with raw data export just tell me. That bug existed also in 535 version.

Current Races:

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
