PI programming active waypoint

[rooiedirk]

While programming a new plugin (Compass deviation), I try to find a way to get the course to the active waypoint. Checking the ocpn_plugin.h file I don't see a function to do this. Am I overseeing something??

Rooiedirk, Now would be a good time to contact jongough (maybe pm him) and to look at the ocpn_draw.api. Jon has added messaging necessary for ocpn_draw to work with watchdog and weather_routing which requires change to the opencpn.lib.

It looks like your request might fall into that category. You could also ask pavel or bdbcat about this.

Dirk...

You are correct. There is no way in the released Plugin API to detect the currently active waypoint.

I can add this to the API update now under development. But of course, this means that your plugin will not be useful until we release an update to O48.

Comments?
