SOG wrong in 3.2.2

[lfabio]

Folks,
I used 3.2.2 extensively this summer and I've been fairly happy with it.

One thing that did not work, however, was the SOG displayed on screen and used in calculations: it seems as if it's in (terrestrial) miles per hour, not knots.

The GPSs I was using - phones via Bluetooth and others - were displaying the correct speed, OpenCPN was picking it up oddly. I did not find a configuration parameter to change this.

Has it happened to anyone else?

First place I looked. I have no 'show speed as' dropdown. Only the 'show Lat/Long as'.

Maybe you will use a beta version for that.
Sorry I have only the german version picture available.

Ifabio...
Never seen that. OpenCPN shows what the GPS sends it. Could you record a bit of your NMEA stream using the VDR plugin and post here for analysis?

Thanks

Sorry for the late reply folks.

Carcode thank you, got it on the beta. I'll try next time I'm out.

nohal, I am unfortunately off the boat at present but should be able to provide you with such later in the month. I can confirm that this is consistent no matter what GPS I use (BT from phone, native BT, USB) on three different machines. The native GPS app on the phones gives the correct speed...
