	FarrarSol. Where do you get the NMEA Proxy from? And on which port ? 5010? --- Last Edited by Bimmer at 2018-02-05 10:25:22 ---

	@FarrarSol In the NavMon screen I see at the left Virtual Ports A,B,C. C is closed. com1: and com2: are connected but show [no data]. I think the results on the dials on the right are coming from another source. Seen your QtVlm screen I think they come in NavMon over your local internet ip: port 5010 too. If you are using brainaids NMEA proxy you should use com3: port:5010 In your QtVlm settings you should try to uncheck the udp: port 1 and port 2 and in TCP: check server 1;and for ip-address use what you now have in udp: port 2 if you use autoGribLoader and have left everything unchanged use the same as above. Should work! Maybe if you want to use UDP you have to find a way in NavMon to send the nmea data to UDP port2. I do not know how to do that.

	Bimmer and sol Thank you. I was trying to follow the instructions at this address: https://daysailer.wordpress.com/2016/01/03/how-to-connect-qtvlm-and-bluewater-racing-to-the-nmea-proxy/ Your suggestions have helped a lot. I have ignored the COM ports and just used the network info..... NMEA data is now showing in qtVlm! Now I need to find some time to play with it. Is there a better source of info for my next steps? Thanks again for your help.

	@FarrarSol That article was written by <schakel>. At the time of writing QtVLM and BWR both used a com: port to read NMEA data. NavMon was used to create a virtual com port that you could connect to in BWR and QtVLM. Since then QtVLM has included it's own tcp/ip NMEA connection. Only for BWR you still need to create a virtual com port. ___________ Please would you identify yourself - posting anonymously means we don't know who to "catch" in chat if we have further questions! ___________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2018-02-08 10:13:13 ---

	I don't often fire up QtVLM but enjoy keeping my hand in with it. I just started routing in SWR and when I uploaded the Grib and zoomed out I spotted an odd "rash" of red dots and lines on-screen - nothing to do with the Grib, just highlighted by it. It would seem some kind of graphics-cache "thing" as the identical dots/lines appear irrespective of the grib I load. LOOK HERE Please can someone advise me on how to remove these random marks? It's not a major problem for me as I don't rely on Qt BUT ... they shouldn't be there. No doubt there is some cache I should have been clearing and haven't! I am running WIN7 on an HP Pavilion laptop and I keep Qt reasonably up to date (i.e., responding to the on-screen advisories of new versions most of the time!). When I update Qt I usually overwrite the contents of the Qt folder which is located on the C Drive in ProgramFiles. _______________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2018-02-15 12:27:14 --- Attachments QtVLM_feb18.jpg (26.3 KB)

	I do not know what you already have tried to clean that screen. Deleting all of qtvlm and do a clean install would surely give you that clean screen. Would help if you write down beforehand the configuration adaptations you made made different from the default in <QtVlm><Configuration>. Saves a lot of reinventing all the config-wheels later on. And you could try beforehand in <QtVlm><Export qtVlm data> to export whatever you chose there to Export (to qtVlmExport.zip) the data you want back when you have done a clean install. Do not forget to put first qtVlmExport.zip on/in a different place then the QtVlm folder you are going to delete. In the newly installed QtVlm you choose <QtVlm>< Import qtVlm Data> and find you exported data. And maybe the random dots are gone now. That's all I can think of. Good luck

	Thank you, whoever is anonymously posting as sol! It really would be helpful if you would post as yourself I am doing a clean install, having first deleted the original folder on C:/ which has been around for several years! Now I'll wade back through here and see what changes I need to make as, stupidly, I forgot to make a note of the Sailonline "preferences" etc. before visiting here and seeing your advice on what to do! <eyeroll> --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2018-02-22 14:30:59 ---

	Viva Jo and all. That's very easy to solve. Pls follow this steps: 1 - Left Click one time on the top/right side boat - it will appear a new Window on the left side with the "Position" menu; 2 - Just click on "Reset Trace"... et voliá, tous les lignes rouges went. Cheers. João/psail P.S.; if you left click a second time on the top/right boat the left menu window disappears. Sail Fair.

	Dear psail/João - THANKYOU! OBRIGADO! I have in fact completely reinstalled, but as the red line would highlight when my cursor was on it, I figured there had to be a way to delete it! Your instructions worked perfectly. There is obviously heaps of functionaly in QtVLM that I know nothing about
