I have the same problem with the route rollover on Vista 32bit

Hey my text disappears, try again

Dave, Thomas,
My 'problem' only seams to appear, when using the fixed font. So it is indeed likely that it is 'my' problem and not O's

Updating the 3.0.2 documentation ........

Most of the "holes" in the NOAA ENCs has been sorted out.
I find that one case remains.



The chart is US4PR11M.000, just north of St Croix.
I think that the problem is, that this chart in 1:100.000 has not been surveyed to this scale, in the grayed out area.
A survey in scale 1:326.856, does exist. Check chart US3PR10M.000.
Any chance of quilting in the smaller scale chart in the gray area?

What was the necessity to put and X over the route in the manager?
This is unnecessary. Is there a way to remove such a method in the ini file?

Another time the route rollover:
trying to understand the sources it seems to me that wx is getting the bounding box wrong for Windows.
Dave: any place but cpndc.cpp to look at?

But there is another little bug:
look at the sums. Total route 222nm. Leg plus rest 220. Rounding? Or not adding the first leg?

Cheers

OK, a little geek talk. I'm thrilled when more people start to dig into the source code and see how this thing (mostly) works.

I solved the bug. It turned out that the wxFont used to calculate the bounding box was not exactly the same font as was used to draw the text. Close, but not close enough. I think it was a simple typo error on my part.

Have a look at chcanv.cpp RolloverWin::SetBestPosition() and RolloverWin::SetBitmap(). Two slightly different font specifications.

Solution: determine the font in SetBestPosition(), use it there to calculate box size, save it as a class member, and then use it later in SetBitmap() to draw the text.

My solution will be in github shortly.

AIS target information can not find

[bcn]

Capt. Wang,

can you explain a bit more? Target list??

[bdbcat]

Capn Wang....

There is a known bug in 3.1.1206. The"AIS Target Query" is not available in the right-click menu. This will be corrected in the next Beta.

Meanwhile, you may double-click on an AIS target to see the information.

Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,

I noted this problem with this beta version as well as the previous one.
I am reproducing the problem this way:

- Use the CM93 charts.
- Show the chart as shown on the first image. Everything is looking OK.
- Move the view point using the mouse a bit to the North pole. The map details are going away and only the contours remain.

Best regards

Pierre

Hi

Just a small problem with chart groups :
I have set three groups (in this order) :
1- "BSB-Shom" only contains BSBs
2- "2009" which contains CM93 2009
3- "2011" which contains CM93 2011

When switching from one group to another , I get sometimes the contain
of two groups at the same time
This seems to append only in no quilt mode
see shots attached
in map1 I got CM93 + BSB
in map2 I got two CM93
regards
Jean Pierre

Hello,
OpenCPN out put Nmea sentence only if a route is active, and it's not good for the VHF for exemple.

tiersp...

What message do you need for VHF?
