NMEA delivered over UDP does not have a concept of "baud rate", as it is not a serial connection. In practical terms, NMEA over UDP is not a standard either, but rather a "common sense" application that is often supported by various vendors in an informal manner.
From the screen capture it appears that many of the NMEA messages are split into several pieces (i.e. a single

UK charts downloaded in PolarView can only be used with PolarView. UKHO licenses their products to specific manufacturers, and licenses cannot be ported between products.

There are two license options:
1. NOAA (or UK) chart downloads - these are for a period of 1 year. As a courtesy, chart download license also includes product use for the same period of time.
2. PolarView use license. This is an open-ended product license. Once purchased, it does not expire. This license also includes US chart downloads for a period of 1 year. After the initial period, user

There are two separate issues:
1. Access to UK & Ireland charts downloads has always been for a period of 1 year from the purchase of such access. This is due to the UKHO licensing requirements. This has not changed in any version of PolarView.
2. Any downloaded charts, including encrypted charts such as UK & Ireland, continue to be available on the system on which they were instal

1. Make sure you follow instructions in this article to configure the GPS serial port:
2. Once GPS is configured and connected, ensure that port status is "Running"
3. Check NMEA Terminal - if port is configured correctly, you should see NMEA sentences scrolling in the terminal window.

If you downloaded charts directly from NOAA, you do not need to use built-in PolarView download.
To add charts use option "Add Directory" in the charts panel of the Chart Manager.
Please keep in mind that PolarView adds charts "in place" - do not move or delete charts once they have been added to PolarView.

Yes, the arrival mode and distance is set in the "Alarms & Settings". "Arrival" status is first and foremost an alarm and only in some circumstances (exporting data to A/P) causes additional actions to be taken - hence its location in the alarm settings panel.
Note that you can select one of several modes of action upon arrival.

Although discussing CE is off topic here, I would urge you to read the following thread:
In particular, note the following reply from CE developers: "There is no relationship between the arrival circle radius and XTE. There is also nothing, aside from XTE precision in the Autopilot options, you can set (or would be possible to set) in Coastal Explorer that will impact how your autopilot

Specifically to the question - upon "arrival" to the current route point, the next waypoint will be sent to the autopilot. This will happen when user selected arrival option is reached.
- In a circle/distance mode, "arrival" will be declared when vessel crosses a circle of specified radius around the route point (this circle is also shown on the screen)

There is no way to control the turn radius, nor is it really possible with the way autopilots operate.
NMEA0183 autopilot message allows external device to provide currently desired course (and, potentially, how far off track the vessel is). It is up to the autopilot to maintain this course. There is no provision to control the exact track taken - and trying to do so by adjusting courses repeat

The file extension .CAP suggests that these are BSBv4 (encrypted) charts. By convention, BSBv3 files use extension .KAP.
To install these charts you need to obtain appropriate keys, and follow installation process for BSBv4, as outlined in an article on this site.

I was not aware that CHS now provides their charts in an unencrypted format - good news, if true.
- After you add chart directory in Chart Manager - do you see these charts listed in Chart Manager->Charts tab?

There is another dialog - a common Windows "OK/Cancel" popup, that is displayed in this situation. It should be on top of the main information dialog. As the screen capture shows, it has been moved into background and not visible, however it still maintains the focus of the input.
This is, unfortunately, a "feature" of a UI toolkit we are using. If this happens again, you

The hang up occurs because an error dialog box may occasionally be placed behind the download dialog (most often it will originally appear on top, but move below if user clicks on the dialog). You can find the error dialog box by moving windows aside, and close it - at which point PolarView will continue working. However, that does not address the core issue of connectivity.

As I understand it, Apple is discontinuing support for 32 bit applications in the Mac Appstore and adding warnings for the existing applications. It sounds like 32 bit applications that are available directly from developers are not imminently in danger.

Thanks, Jim.
POI data in general is an important asset to a number of users. Maintaining access to Active Captain data and, better yet, adding more/different data sources, would be something we would very much like to do.
As far as current issue is concerned, the agreement that we must accept in order to gain access to API documentation is extremely skewed and risky, in particular for a ve

We would love to add new POI sources.
The PolarView POI data format has been available in open source form from the start. Anyone can produce a compatible POI data set. (This was the link posted sometime in 2011 - )
Alternatively, any data sources that want to work with PolarView are very welcome (provided they come with reasonable licensing requirements, which is not difficult - we are n

That depends on what version of PolarView you are using.
- If you are using an earlier copy of version 3.0, you can continue using your current license.
- If you need to upgrade from version 2.x, you will need a new license.

Our charts from UKHO are updated twice a year, about October and April. In October UKHO data set there is no chart GB40864B. If this chart is present in a data provided to us in April, it should be made available at that time.
Intermediate partial updates are not really possible as chart set needs to remain consistent.
