The last change submitted to sourceforge to fix timedate does not work on windows.
The time is off by 17 hours or 7 hours.

Can't duplicate with my GPS or any recorded data I have available. Could we have a look at your NMEA stream? And also we need to know what time did your dashboard show and what was the timezone set on your system while you recorded it.

No need for the stream, after doing a few hops around the planet, I found the problem.

That fix worked for a valid RMC time. However, until the gps acquired a valid fix, the time shown was local time with "UTC" appended.

I will have to get back to it - there are other problems when the time source considered the best disappears etc... Too late to touch it more for 3.0 though.
What you have seen should be rather easy to fix with

Hi,

I found that in Dashboard, if you select clock, time is getting from Windows system not from GPS satellite. I think more appropriate and more accurate is GPS time.

Kubek...
Exactly this change I did a bit too late to be tested properly is causing what Chuck sees now...

Pavel

[ChuckSK]

That fixed it. Awaiting 3.0.0.

Chuck...
You already have it

If I get a usb wifi for my computer to get my nmea data via the wifi will the open cpn see that as com port input?

[GWB]

I have not read the entire thread and I apologize if this question has an obvious answer. I'm using a multiplexer to pass nmea data to ocpn and this is working great. The one NMEA sentence that I want in the dashboard is VHW ... Speed Through Water. In dashboard, is there a display for this?
Also, is version 1.1 the latest?
Thank you in advance and thanks for this great tool

[ewitts]

I download 3.0 and my dashboard didn't include the data recorder. I tried downloading it again but I get errors. Does it work with 3.0?
Thanks

Check out PlugIns | Official OpenCPN Homepage, and download a new version.

This is because it is always distributed with OpenCPN, so there is never a need for a separate download. In other words, you already have the plugin. Activate it in ToolBox-Plugins tab.
