Em-trak released a new firmware for the B100
AIS transponder which solves the problem of unstable USB connections into
OpenCPN. One part was a new driver.
And with that update we are now able to travel at 2.231.963 knots. No bad...
What happens is that
OpenCPN finds a position of 0.0N/0.0E and integrates that into the track, sending you during some instance to the equator and back.
This under 3.1.1206, W7, and
Tracking Precision at "Medium"
I'm not sure if it is a problem of the B100 or if OpenCPN does not receive the data correctly. It is the first time I'm observing this. Any one else?
The
Tracking function should filter out
GPS glitches anyhow, I would suggest.
