Route Data from OpenCPN

[PaddyB]

The manual is always worth a look >

All you should send is RMB, APB & XTE. If you also send RMC then it will just loop into Opencpn from signalk then back again to signalk from opencpn.
Good idea to ignore RMB.XTE & APD sentences in the opencpn 10110 input from signalk as well.

Then set a connection in signalk set to the udp port that opencpn is set to output on.

The active route data will then show up in signalk.


"for example the 'RMB' sentence is typically sent by SignalK from basic GPS info," ??
RMB is not gps info, it's only route info - are you sure signalk can send RMB just from gps info?

"RMB - Recommended Minimum Navigation Information
To be sent by a navigation receiver when a destination waypoint is active."
