PolarView display colors have been carefully selected for best visibility. To avoid possible misinterpretation of the data color changes of any elements are not supported.

You should be able to close any PolarView sub-window with a Ctrl-W (or Cmd-W on a Mac) key combination.

The issue appears to be with the way the AIS device formats output UDP data. While there does not exist an actual NMEA over UDP standard, the common approach has been to send NMEA messages as-is, one per UDP packet.
Normally NMEA messages are text lines terminated by a line break byte combination.
In this case, the AIS device prepends the same byte combination to each NMEA message. I can not

Thank you, will check.
The easiest method to attach files of any type is to compress them into a zip archive.

Here is how to capture network data with Wireshark.
1. Download and install Wireshark from here: Note that it will probably require administrative permissions to run, in order to access network capture.
2. Launch Wireshark. From the top program menu select Capture->Options
3. In the options window in the text box for "Capture filter for selected interfaces" enter exactly

Interesting. I suspect that something is off about the way the device sends network data (if I had to guess - individual sentences are split across several UDP frames).
To debug this further we would need to get a network packet capture. Doing so does require some familiarity with network capture tools (Wireshark) and would entail installing and running it on the same system where PolarView i

Unusual. Let's try this:
1. Create "File Input" port in port manager
2. As an input select the same file you just created as an output in the previous message
3. Set messages per second rate of 10 or 20 (not too low), and make sure "loop over data" checkbox is checked.
4. Launch the new port
Let me know if you see any AIS targets

I am able to see quite a few AIS vessels from the new data capture. Most are stationary, but a few are moving.
Just to make sure:
1. You have turned on "Ship->Live Ship Mode"
2. Option "Ship->Show AIS Ships" is checked

To put it simply - PolarView can only display AIS ships, not other AIS targets (like navaids). The short sample you provided included only navaids, and no ships. So, there is nothing PolarView can display based on the data in that sample.
AIS targets transmit at fairly long intervals (minutes), so it is possible that ship targets would be included if we get a longer data sample. If you'd like

I see the issue here.
PolarView AIS display supports only messages sent by other vessels (1,2,3 - vessel position report, 5 - vessel information, 18 and 19 - class B position report).
In the sample you provided there are two types of messages:
Type 4 - base station report
Type 21 - aid to navigation report
Neither message type is supported by PolarView.

Looks like we'll need to get that data a different way.
You will need to create a File Output port in PolarView. In port configuration check "mux out" checkbox and select an output file name. Do not change any other settings. Launch this port, and run it along with the network port. This should save AIS data directly to the selected file.
Make sure to stop the file output port be

To debug this further, we would need a sample of the AIS data.
The simplest way to obtain this sample is to copy several screens worth of text from the NMEA Terminal, paste it into a text editor, save as a plain text file and attach here. You may need to compress the file into a zip archive first.

Please check that menu option Ship->Show AIS Ships is selected.
You can also view a list of current AIS targets by opening File->AIS Ship List
Also note that it may take some time for targets to appear, as only some AIS messages carry vessel information.

It sounds like your AIS device is sending directed UDP frames ( not "broadcast" ) to a target IP address and port specified on that device (although it would be nice to be sure of that).
If that is the case, in PolarView you want to set up a UDP network server (server means "listener", client means "sender" in UDP context), with the following settings:

Thank you for the report. What version of PolarView are you using?
You should be able to press "Cancel" to dismiss this alert and suppress it for the duration of the program.

This probably has to do with an update to a 64 bit API and UI library. Will check (but the update may take some time).

PolarView version 3.0.6 incorporates download and display of sQuidd.io POI. sQuidd.io is a crowdsourced database of marinas, anchorages and other POI of interest to boaters.

If you look at the copy of the original chart here: you can see that the area is overlaid with a chart inset of a different area. That inset is shown in its correct location (seen as 11312_2 in the chart list). The area of inset is rendered in white because that is what the chart data contains.
BSB charts do not have an option of "cutting out a hole" in the coverage. So, the only w

I've contacted squidd.io about possibility of integrating their data - will report here if there is a reply from them.

Fixed the link, thanks.
squidd.io seems interesting. I was not able to find a reference to the POI API, however. That said, provided they have one and access is permitted by 3rd party users - it should be possible to build a direct download into PolarView.
If you have a link to their POI description - please let me know.
