True, I have an Android smartphone and have purchased the app some years ago. Currently I am subscribed to the beta testing program but the Pypilot app is not working. I am trying to revert to the regular version, but cannot get contact with the app developer.
I find that OpenCPN works well indeed, I am looking just for a more ad-hoc method of activating previously configured routes with less clicks.
For preparation ofcourse I will keep using OpenCPN and Pypilot which I am still a huge fan of.
Because I saw that in Freeboard less clicks where needed for activating a route, my thoughts where maybe with not a huge ammount of development work we could try and forward APB sentences from there to Pypilot.
Ok I've done some testing, I have the following sentence that is the heading until next waypoint:
navigation.courseGreatCircle.nextPoint.bearingTrue
How can I send this one to Pypilot? An NMEA converter that takes this value and puts it into APB sentence?
