GE Plugin and 3.0.2

I am having some issues with running the GE PlugIn with 3.0.2. I did not have these issues when running 2.5.

1) The centering of the GE image is not centered on the center of the chart I have displayed. I always leave GE "connected" via chart view. So as I move the chart, GE moves as well to correspond to what I see. When I click the "Follow Boat" button in OpenCpn, the chart is centered on the boat, and then the charts move as needed as the boat moves. The issue now is that the image showing in GE is a bit to the left of center, so "My Position" does not show in the GE Window. I attached 2 images. One with my boat centered, and one with my boat slightly to the left on the chart window to show what I mean. Also showed the settings I have for GE.

2) I am getting a ton of messages in opencpn.log from the GE plug in. When I use it, I am usually disconnected from the internet, but again, never had this issue before. Here is a sample. It will log 8 megs of these messages over an hour period.
