Directory 4.2 PI Win

Thomas, has provided a fresh new version with the Option>Plugin>Preferences Icons working. The green puzzle icon in Toolbar needs to change, but the preferences window is not resizeable. Test this plugin out with the nmea files in this folder, then test some other nmea files of your own. To get good readings, you must have all the data needed! Thank you Thomas, for your great work! Awesome.

Also please test and try route_pi it has been enhanced and is much more user friendly, now supporting copy lat/long and paste. Also has right-click at cursor and pick Start Route (route_pi) or End Route (route_pi) and these values are entered automatically so you can create a Great Circle or Rhumbline. (no paste needed).
This plugin works with v4.2 forward. Thank you Walbert Schulpen for your fine coding!

has Sean's most recent weather_routing_pi which has a more simplified Gui which you will probably find much easier to use.
Thank you Sean! (Sean desperately needs Digital Instruments (nmea output) to help him enhance his plugins Watchman and SweepPlot, so if you care about these plugins, please keep your eyes open for good removed instruments that can be sent to him, perhaps a friend is replacing all his instruments with the newest... consider Sean!! Alternatively donate to him (see About in his plugins) so he can find some suitable used instruments at his location. Thank you.
--Sean's our thanks (all users) goes out to you for your fine work.

OpenCPN Beta Filei Thingie rguser rgpass

In 4.4 Win PI directory

Added current plugins
watchdog_pi-1.9.050-ov4.4-win32
ocpn_draw_pi-1.2.1-ov4.4-win32 (includes the png fix, most recent)
weather_routing_pi-1.10b-ov4.4-Sean-Final-win32

Which all work together using Guard Zones from ODraw.
I do not know if Pavel has updated these, check the dates.
Also note the opencpn.org website is currently down.

OpenCPN Beta Filei Thingie rguser rgpass

In 4.4 Win PI directory
added updates to

weatherfax_pi
We need some users to test this version and advise. The xml files have been updated, but not completely. Please test downloads and operations.

weather_routing_pi


admiralty_tide tables which at this point is an entry form for tide tables. We need someone to make a crowdsourced site that allows all EU users to contribute to maintenance.

[rgleason]

NOTE: The newer version of weatherfax_pi has a memory leak. It would be helpful if someone confirmed this.

admiralty_tide_tables_pi
This plugin provides an entry form for admiralty tides which are available across thee world, see attached. There is no data, it must be entered by the user.
The plugin could be improved
- to have a crowdsourced data entry site for sharing data
- to show the tides graphically on the charts, etc.
- to have the features of OTcurrents

[rgleason]

Regarding this beta version of weatherfax, there are updated NOAA urls and coordinates. These will not be effective unless you rename your user files under
c:/programdata/opencpn/plugins/weatherfax/data
rename usercoordinates.xml to usercoordinates.xml.old
rename coordinatesets.xml to coordinatesets.xml.old

Perhaps the iinstallation routine can do that, but it best to be aware that and Image Wizard settings you've done are in there. If your images have been fixed, and you have good overlays for the stations you use, that you have saved using image wizard, you should upload your user files here and advise exactly which stations and images.
