Posted by Sambal Posts 33 Registered at 2008-06-05 22:57:47	2011-11-17 10:49:49 - Big difference SOL map and Sailplanner
	On SOL-map the SW point of Noronha is at -3.8778 and -32.4795. If I make a waypoint in Sailplanner with this position it will be placed 1 NM north of Noronha! (I use the map "SP Atlantic South (GFS)") Why? There is also a difference with for example TWA when I sail the same CC at the same position and the same time! That makes Sailplanner difficult to use...

	Differences in Maps are quite normal and do happen even in official Maps as a Result of Errors in Positiondetection by the original Measurer. Did you use the latest SOL-Weather from Brainaids Toolbox (http://sol.brainaid.de/sailonline/toolbox/)? If so there might only be small Differences due to different interpolation schemes.

	You can't. The dropdown list on the main toolbar contains the only weather systems you can use... I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	Sailplanner is not linked to sailonline in that way... To get your boat or GPS location into SP automatically, you will need the NMEA proxy for the race from brainaid's toolbox, and a program called NavMonPC (very useful in its own right), to get the data from the NMEA proxy sent out on a virtual COM port, that SP can then read from. Other than that, just drag the boat icon to match your current race location, or the start for pre-start routing, and go from there...
