Route deactivating randomly

Hi,
I am using OpenCPN having installed Openplotter on a Raspberry pi.
It works fine except for one small problem. The route deactivates itself every 15 minutes or so. It can be reactivated by right-clicking but will subsequently deactivates again.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Re: Route deactivating randomly

My guess, you have every now and then a wrong gps position. Causing OpenCpn to think you passed the waypoint and closes the active route.



Try to record the nmea stream and closely examine it for strange data.

That could be possible. I had both a USB GPS and the main Raymarine GPS connected but I thought I had the data from the main GPS filtered out. I disconnected the USB one and OpenCPN was still getting GPS data. On my last trip there was random track points thousands of miles away.
I will do as you suggest and monitor the source of the GPS data and also see if odd or spurious data is being generated
Thanks for the help.
