Hi all,
When I turn on OpenCPN after a few hours of inactivity, the GPS icon in the upper right says there isn't GPS NMEA data coming in. A check in of the NMEA debug confirms this.
If I start OpenPlotter and do diagnostics on the GPS USB port, I can see the data streaming from the device. I then close the diagnostic window, and the data starts appearing in OpenCPN.
Any thoughts on how I might get the GPS data to be more consistent?
