Little toolbar mod

[useris]

Hello,

Little modification for opencpn toolbar. I added time which is from ship position to mouse in minutes.

Modification:

In file chcanv.cpp (2 positions):
find
s.Printf( wxString("%03d° ", wxConvUTF8 ), (int)brg );
s << FormatDistanceAdaptive( dist );
After add:
if (gSog>0) {
s << wxString::Format(_T(" %1.0f "), dist/gSog*60 ) << _("Min."); }

In file chart1.cpp:
find:
s.Printf( wxString("%03d° ", wxConvUTF8 ), (int) brg );
s << cc1->FormatDistanceAdaptive( dist );
After add:
if (gSog>0) {
s << wxString::Format(_T(" %1.0f "), dist/gSog*60 ) << _("Min."); }

That's a nice "good to have".
I'm not that advanced C++ coder but this is something to eventually get going with that. Not less to handle the build sequences.
Thanks/ Håkan

The modification is of very limited use. It works on the assumption that your boat can keep the same speed in any direction at all times. This is not true for sailing yachts, and not really true for powerboats either. To do this right, you need a polar diagram for your boat and a wind/wave/current grib file and is is more a thing for the new weather-routing plugin.

Yes, you are right. It is calculate for speed on that moment, does not calculate time on circulation, on weather and so on. It is just as simple calculator: distance / speed = time

That's great!
I can't wait to get back to the boat to try it!
I can edit in Notepad?

[useris]

Yes, you can edit with notepad, but you will need compile OpenCPN as described in Compiling - Windows | Official OpenCPN Homepage (for windows)

Ugggg!

No I need brains to be able to do that.

I want your AIS mod too.

I do it on the linux (Ubuntu 12), if you use ubuntu i can share. Or need who could compile it on windows. Or i will try to do it on windows in weekends

No, I don't want to put you to that extra work.
I think the mod is so good it will be included in the next version.

Actually, i need also compile opencpn for windows, because at work we use windows. But i have some problem with compile program. it is so stupid it is much simpler on ubuntu just edit and compile. so i will try to compile because i made more mods like timer for MOB, position calculation from some points and so on , but i do not know the result

You've inspired me to make some coding using your patch, many thanks. See post #965. Runs nicely in the not so stupid Win32.

Thank's, i think it will be usefull. Win32 is not stupid, it is stupid errors which do not alllow me compile program
Also can you make patch with AIS (like http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...od-100717.html)

Thank's
