I have just loaded version 8 of OpenPlotter. It is my first time using openplotter. I have a new Rpi3 andused the dowloaded iso file.
GPS etc all seems fine.
I thought i would try and test some actions using loss of GPS signal. I set LON to send a messaged when lost and LAT to send a message (to screen) when there has been no message for 5 seconds. It would seem having lat and long as an action causes an error. The software just deletes the second action and tells me the action is invalid.
Is there a restriction on using the Action commands?
Using openplotter in local AP mode, i am now able to get my navionics on my android to use the boats GPS and send it to the navionics map. This is much better than the cheap GPS in iphone and android tabs.
I am having fun testing the system
I have the 7inch raspery pi3 screen fitted which works well with the exception of double clicks to open opencpn and some functions within opencpn.
Regards
