Route Data from OpenCPN

[PaddyB]

I'd like to use the laptop to draw routes to be then displayed on the Pi. 
.....
Am I missing something?

Pretty sure the only way to copy an opencpn route from one machine to another is copy across the opencpn navobj.xml file. So create the route on your laptop, close opencpn so it saves everything to the navobj.xml file then copy that file to your rasp pi. In windows it will likely be in C:\ProgramData\opencpn , don't have a Pi booted up right now so can't remember the location on linux.

RMB,APB,XTE just give info about how far the current position is from an active  route/waypoint - not the actual route. 

The signalk server converts these nmea messages to signalk deltas as it receives them, but the actual route doesn't get sent. It's in the navobj.xml file.  >



Hope this helps.
