Watchdog for OpenCpn

[doublebubble]

Hi, as I'm new to OpenCpn but am getting much better at it I'm having a little bit of trouble getting Watchdog to work for arrival alarms, or is it actually possible, do I require any other plugins other than Watchdog to setup arrival alarms etc.

Regards Rod.

read this. Ocpn_Draw is useful.

I am not having any success generating an AIS Guard Zone Alarm. In testing I can say that an WatchDog Anchor Watch alarm operates. But, Exclusion Zones created with ODraw entered in Watchdog using GUID do not alarm when a commercial vessel enters the zone. This hold true for guard zone arcs created in Odraw or other geometric boundary zones created in ODraw as exclusion boundaries and configured in WatchDog. I am using OpenCPN 5.6.2 for Windows

Any ideas would be appreciated.
