NMEA AIS Sentences with Tag block. O 4.0 Do not show AIS targets.

Hello Dave,

Here is a subject that has, perhaps, been addressed at least partially.

A French sailor, currently at a port in the Indian Ocean, has problems with the display of AIS targets by OpenCPN.

For testing, installation comprises:
- A AIS transponder "Matsutec HA 102"
- A multiplexer "wireless / USB" Miniplex2
- An Ipad
- A PC with OpenCPN V4.0 (same problem with O 3.2.2)

The information from the transponder are sent to the multiplexer.
The multiplexer sends its data to the PC via a USB cable
The multiplexer sends its data to the iPad via wifi.

The attached two pdf files showing the sentences received by the IPad and those received by OpenCPN.

It is found that:
- All NMEA sentences received by the iPad has a "tag block".
- Only the NMEA sentences, type AIVDO / AIVDM received by OpenCPN has a "tag block".

The iPad displays AIS targets without problems. OpenCPN not show any.

The French sailor has also made a recording with VDR in OpenCPN. This is the "VDR1.tx" section attachment, download.zip.doc file.
At home, on my Lenovo, with this "VDR1.tx" file, I have no display AIS target.

I made a second file "VDR2.tx" in which I erased all the "block tag". See attached. with this "cleaned file" I have no problem displaying all AIS targets.

It appears that OpenCPN not cleaned all NMEA sentences.

The French sailor saw that it is possible to prevent the presence of "tag block" in the NMEA sentences, the output of the multiplexer, using preferences of this multiplexer.
This should solve the problem partially. This test will be done today.

That said, the real solution would be OpenCPN cleaned all NMEA sentences that have a "tag block" at first.

1° Same problem with Linux ubuntu and O411108

2° Test (Windows ?) by french sailor, by using prefences of the mutltiplexer :
If he prevent the tag, no problem with O 4.0, the ais targets are visible.
