Hi Royagui,

You shouldn't have to register on the VLM website when you use QtVLM with a "real" boat (instead of a VLM boat).

Can you read the error message, or does the program close too fast? I'd be very helpful to find out what the error message says.

I know a couple of other routers but QtVLM is a very good one (at least for virtual sailing it is), don't give up on it just yet :)

Whats the method to get your SOL yacht to feed positions into QTLVM? Found the TCP/IP proxy from brainaid, but it looks like QtLMV only supports serial. Is there a tool to emulate, and can it be done? Thanks

Viva Kipper1258.

I use the Franson GpsGate 2.6 program, namely, for sending NMEA data over TCP/IP to qTVlm, (http://gpsgate.com/support/client_users_guide).
It has also other useful functions.

Next one for our experts out there. What's the technique to add a second real boat to qtLVM? All I seem to be able to do is delete my existing boat. Thanks

I've tried that once. QtVLM seems to have some options for multiple boats, but I couldn't get it to work, so I used the method some other QtVLM user was using: installing multiple instances of QtVLM... I'm not sure how (if at all) that works with NMEA data and ports and all...

Viva kipper and Huib.

QtVlm dosen't allow more than 1 "real boat" sailing at the same time. Anyhow it permits to have "n" different boats ("n" different boats polar data) but all with the same name.
So the AIS function dosen't work for following the other boats. Only your own boat via the TCP/NMEA link.

With OpenCPN you have both options. A routing prog to look for.

Be well.

I notice qtLVM can load marks in ZyGrib or GeoData format. Anyone know what these formats are. I use two computers in different locations and want to be able to load my marks into each one through a single file.I can't seem to find a reference to what the file looks like

Thanks in advance

Just found poiReal.dat which appears to store all the POI's. I think I can maintain a master copy on one computer and overwrite on the other.

Just tested copying poiREAL and works - it also contains the routes and barriers which is a bonus.

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
