OpenCPN Version 5.7.1 Beta Test #3

[hans-martijn]

Hi Dave,

I can only agree with Bram, all problems have disappeared. It works really well fortunately, since I'm moving my boat unexpectedly tomorrow.

Next step will probably update more plugins. Thus far you're doing great!

Hi Dave,

Yes all good here on W11.

Thanks

I'm looking at Seattle, same charts. Can you be more specific about your observations? Maybe a marked up screen shot? Not at all sure what I should be looking for. They look fine to me...


Also, for reference, let's disable cm93, and see if there is any difference.



Thanks
Dave

As requested, CM93 Charts removed so only the few NOAA S57 charts for Seattle are present. Find attached annotated screenshots.

Steve...
I'm almost sure that if you uncheck "Reduce chart detail at small scale" in Vector chart setting and decrease the setting of zoom/scale weighting, this particular area will start to behave.
We will probably never find balance of the defaut settings that would suite all, the same settings are for example making the Dutch IENCs next to unusable...

I noticed a strange thing though, I have a raspberry pi 4 4GB and 8GB. Both are configured exactly the same. Still, the 8GB has a different chart and a lot more details. The 4GB is on the boat, so I'll try to change them the coming month.

Hi Hans,

it is only a matter of settings. Settings (right hamburger) to all and settings are all the same.

Bram

[Hakan]

Chart details are controlled mainly by:

• Vector chart zoom/scale. Normally=0 (Short key "D" or options->display->advanced.
• Hamburger right down menu: Display category. Set to "All" for most details.
• Options->charts->vector chart display. Disable "Additional detail reduction at small scale".

[nohal]

The screenshot with "less detail" shows a different ENC cell, but from the chart piano bellow it is obvious that even the cell with more detail is available. I would say nothing suspicious here, just tune your settings if the more detailed cells seem to be kicking in "too late".

[sanner]

Quick report with today's commits/build - still crashing on exit but only when the Dashboard plugin is enabled and a can0 source/connection. (also tested w/ nmea0183 & signalk connections - no change) No issue with old Tactics plugin.


Hope this helps, let me know if you would like to see anything or tests I could perform.

"uncheck reduce chart detail at small scale" in Vector chart setting

Thanks Pavel, this changed the behavior to what I was expecting.

I have to admit I personally find the location of various settings to be somewhat confusing, some in Charts->Vector Chart Display, some in Display->Advanced and others only enabled via the hamburger menu.

FWIW this version can be made portable without any problem.

10 Hz GNSS appears to flood socketCAN

A testbuild with Xubuntu 20.04 on a HP-550 laptop using O 5.7.1 #3 and a Garmin MNEA 2000 GPS24xd, using o-charts but no other extra tools or plugins, gives:

- Using socketCAN as sole input: Everything appears to work ok but: O does not close down properly, the expected 'Myapp exiting cleanly' is (almost always) replaced by a message about the o-charts pixel size followed by 'ocpn_app.cpp:1206' or, if using KAP files' the name of the last loaded chart.

- Using TwoCan with everything enabled works just fine, both using and closing down.

- Using an external SK server (an RPi4) generating NMEA 0183 to port 10110, transferred to O works just fine, both using and closing down.
Also used this setup all last summer on 5.6.2 without problems.

This appears to be related to the socketCAN input not capable to handle the amount of information generated by Garmin GPS24xd. Later on there will also be an echo sounder, an autopilot plus eventual other instruments. Also, the test setup is indoors giving about 20 satellites while I get around 30 when installed in the boat.

Please see the attached candump file, an about 5 second snippet.

Your last version seems to work OK with Windows 10, with one exception:- how to increase the size of tide icon other than increasing the scale of chart object. It is shown a little small. Thanks for the update.

[bdbcat]

P_Dub...


If needed, increase the size of the tide station font, "ExtendedTideIcon". This will increase the bars, as well.
