Depth Gauge

Mike

Hi,

The depth gauge instrument does not appear to work for me in AngelNav. All others that I am using are fine. It works ok in other apps using the same NMEA WiFi gateway.

Any suggestions or perhaps some debug I can collect?

Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike, can you give me more details please? Is anything displayed, and if so is it incorrect by a consistent amount?

Also, the next time you are connected. please go to Settings:Navigational Data:Show console. Wait a few moments for a few pages worth to accumulate, then tap ‘email messages’.

This will launch your mail program. Paste the clipboard into the message and send it. This will give me the raw NMEA messages to help diagnose the issue.

Hi Bill, it shows nothing, just a blank box. Will get the NMEA data next time I am on the boat.

Cheers

Thanks Mike,

In the meantime, please could you send an email to support@sailtrack.co.uk with details of your boat's instrument system?

Hi Bill,
I’ve sent on email with the console data as I have the same issue. The depth circle just has three horizontal lines. My depth sounder is a Garmin (Airmar) DST 810 and the NMEA is using the Vesper Cortex.

Thanks to both Mike and Philip for sendingg their console logs. These have revealed some variations in the type and format of NMEA messages for depth which AngelNav was not expecting. The code has now been corrected and will be released in version 2.0.5 next week.

There are so many different hardware and software configurations out there, that it is beyond our resources to test them all without the help of the user community, so thanks to all of you who submit feedback - it all goes towards improving AngelNav!
