Hi,
I'm new to this forum so first of all I want to say thanks for creating the OpenPlotter project! Great initiative!
However I have a small problem. The gps unit in my system is an old Shipmate RS5800. It's a robust unit doing its job without complaining. But because of the gps rollover week issue it thinks it is 1997... Time is correct though.
When I still ran OpenCpn on a laptop pc that didn't matter because I could use time from the computer's real time clock. Now using OpenPlotter the whole system is 20 years behind. Not so nice...
Do any of you know a way to put in an offset somewhere in the system to correct for this?
I'm too much of a Linux newbie to find out myself.
Any help would be gladly appreciated.
Regards from cold and rainy Sweden
