Thanks for the info on the compass and Openplotter 2.
I got to thinking about the Pi4 the other day and have a question about memory usage. If you boot off of the SD card and the charts are also stored on the SD card, what does the extra RAM buy you? What is it used for? I don't see any way of directing files or functions to the internal memory, so it must be more of a matter of how the running programs are written, which makes me wonder if the 4 GB version of the Pi 4 has more utility than a 1 GB version for OpenPlotter purposes.
It would be handy if the Pi could eventually boot off of its internal memory.
Thanks again for the assist. I haven't calibrated it yet, but will report back.
