Beta of Sean's most
current weather_routing_pi will be uploaded to 4.4 Win PI directory.
This
plugin only runs with OpenCPN v4.4 (I don't know why it can't run with v4.2 because v4.2 has the grib changes! - Maybe something else requires the version change that I don't know about.)
Also the Incompatibility messages must be more persistant and explicit!! Tremendous waste of time and aggravation!
IE "Grib is Incompatible: You are using wx_routing v X.X which does not work with Grib_pi X.X or Opencpn vX.X"
On June 9, 2016 someone wanted a routing from Falmouth to
Las Palmas, I was not able to do it because of the state of the plugin, but here it is now, working.
So give it a try but note several things and pleas advise.
1. The polar files are being installed to
Quote:
C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenCPN\plugins\weather_routing_pi\data\pola rs
|
which cannot be written by the program, so we think these should be copied to here:

C:\ProgramData\opencpn\plugins\weather_routing\dat a\polars
|
2. The boat.xml files are being installed to
Quote:
C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenCPN\plugins\weather_routing_pi\data
|
and we think these files should be copied to
Quote:
C:\ProgramData\opencpn\plugins\weather_routing\dat a
|
3. Then in the plugin "Edit" Boat, make sure your boat.xml is in the ProgramData path.
4. Then make sure each polar file "Added" is in your ProgramData path to those new directories.
(These paths should be made automatic.)
Then the plugin should work.
Thank you Sean. The interface looks simpler and hopefully we will understand how the Crossover Tab works as we get using it.
