At this stage I want to be able to display the data on an excel sheet; TWA,TWD,BSP,COG that sort of thing.
Is it possible?
Could you point me in the right direction for research?
I've tried a couple of time but was not succesful

I suppose it could be done. Excel 2013 has two new functions called webservice and filterxml which you could probably use to pull boat.xml into Excel and display what you want.

1. use timestamp=2147483647, it will get rid of the chat messages in the response, which can contain characters that not all xml parsers can handle.

2. There's a performance loss thread somewhere in the forum where I've posted (I think) a PHP script that logs some data in a csv.

3. This might not help Roddo. using boat.xml might work for sol, but won't help him when he's sailing IRL.
Roddo: what do you need this for..? and what exactly do you need? It's easy to assume you want a log of boat parameters every x seconds in a spreadsheet, so that you can apply some analysis afterwards. But maybe you want your spreadsheet log to grow automatically as racing continues. Or perhaps you don't want a log at all, but just the most recent values, updating live within the spreadsheet.

Have a look at one of Kipper's most recent posts on http://solfans.org/. He has a java application that (I believe) logs boat parameters (it does a lot more than that too).

I have no licence of expedition or excel, so I can't really hand you a solution, but at least I can try to make the problem clear :)

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!
