2018-11-11 11:14:47 - $GPWPL NMEA sentences are ignored if there are special characters in WP name
These waypoints are not displayed in qtVlm when these NMEA sentences are sent through.

$GPWPL,5950.057,N,01909.176,E,Villösan*F4
$GPWPL,6011.224,N,01926.018,E,Töllingarna*92
$GPWPL,5948.833,N,01947.200,E,Flötjan*87
$GPWPL,5952.224,N,01905.144,E,Simpnäs Pir*FD

It appears to be related to the extended character set being used. Remove the ö from the name and it works fine.

Good point Kipper,
In the Nordic we use 3 caracters not found international, and we translate them as follows:

æ/ä = ae
ø/ö = oe
å/å = aa

Would be fine if SRC avoid theese caracters in the future.

2018-12-11 11:11:14 - AWS and AWA goes to zero in route logbook when grib view in the future
To reproduce, do the following.
1. Set grib time to now.
2. Edit route and check route logbook. AWA and AWS are fine. Close editor.
3. Select a route waypoint and set grib date, or step forward (I was using 5 min increments)
3. Edit the route and check route logbook. All AWA's and AWS's are zero

See screenshots below.

The zero's then flow into the export.

Hi Andrew, unless I'm not following your instructions correctly, that doesn't seem to happen to me.

Hi all.

Andrew, if memory doesn't fail, the related problem came on the qT 5.8.2 version, hence the main reason for stop upgrading qT since 5.8.1 (there are other reasons).

No such problem here, what version are you using on which platform?

Qt Version 5.8-4
Windows 10

It is transient and I think it is related to an NMEA update which appears to fix the logbook. I think it also needs more than one route to reproduce. It will reproduce though by repeating the steps
1. Set grib date
2. View route logbook.

I can get it to reproduce about 50% of the time if NMEA is turned on. It does not reproduce if NMEA is turned off.

Hope this helps.

It's really weird. The instance I'm using has two routes in it. I set a grib date based on a route waypoint. The first route was fine, and the other wasn't, then they switched (did not change the date). Then they both fine, now switched back again (after about 2 minutes) and then switches again.

Hi,
Thanks for the detailed information. I was able to reproduce that and it's a race condition that can occur randomly if NMEA is on. I fixed that and it's in beta4: https://www.virtual-winds.org/maitai/qtvlm_setup_5.8.6-beta4

Please test this and tell us if it's OK now. If you or someone else needs this beta for another platform than Windows just tell me.

Philippe.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.
