Hi Xuurax,

Welcome as a OpenCPN and forum user.

This is strictly not a OpenCPN thing, it is related to your operating system and its screen saver and power saving options.

Request: Look ahead feature

Links on the OpenCPN webpage?

I think links to these sites from the OpenCPN website are justified.

Dave,
I dont know how you are testing OpenCPN as you are programming it. I guess you have programmed something that sends NMEA sequenses to simulate a GPS?
