SOG/COG Problem?

[Rasbats]

Win 10 64bit, OpenCPN 5.0 (Current release)

Here is my NMEAConverter line:
$XXRMC,$GPRMC1,A,$GPRMC3,$GPRMC4,$GPRMC5,$GPRMC6,$ GPRMC7,$GPRMC8,$GPRMC9 ,,,

Checksum is calculated correctly and accepted by OpenCPN.
COG/SOG are calculated correctly for the dashboard and the main display.

$GPRMC,103206.157,A,3525.544,N,1506.3265,W,5.4,105 ,260320,,,*22


And I am asking the NMEAConverter plugin to send every 1 sec.

Thank you guys so much! It is working fine now. I literally would have never figured this out on my own.

What kind of example would you like posted?

I took the liberty of adding example 13 at the bottom of the wiki.

Feel free to revise/edit/amplify.

Thank Don, Please feel free to improve the manual section at the top, now that your use of NmeaConverter is fresh in your mind, what do new users need to know? What is missing? Perhaps create an outline and fill it in over time?


I've added a link back to Rasbats post.
