AIS not showing vessel names.

[Ivanm]

Ais targets are shown but not the names of some seem to be the ONWA Ais transceivers that don't show names in Open Cpn although on my primary Ais the names does show. I tried O 4.5 and doesn't show either.

There is a setting that shows. Settings (the spanner), Ships, AIS Targets, Show names with AIS targets at scale greater than 1:. Tick box and put in a figure.

[Ivanm]

That has been done it is just certain Ais targets that does not show their names

[fish53]

AIS shows what's entered into it, if the name is absent it may not be entered or in some cases there is only a call sign.

[Ivanm]

Yes sometimes only MMSI number but these show the names in my Ais receiver but not in Open Cpn

[Ivanm]

Like I said it only seem to be with Vessels fitted with Onwa AIS units

Ivan,

can you please post a VDR recording with the AIS sentences from the transponders concerned?

Hubert

[Ivanm]

Will make recording when back at sea.

Some of the newest AIS transponder are indeed not shown. This has been updated in the current code. Please try the last beta, that should do the trick.

Then we do indeed need a recording.

[Ivanm]

Just rename it to yourFileName.doc and then upload should be no problem.

Ivanm...
This what I get playing your AIS.doc in the VDR player using OCPN both in v.4.4.0 and v 4.5.204
Two screen shoots:
AIS target list playing your file.
My settings in Tools>Options>Ships>AIS Targets
