2016-01-06 14:35:54 - Sol connection to Qtvlm
Hi, I really appreciated Schakel's article on his blog:

https://daysailer.wordpress.com/2016/01/03/how-to-connect-qtvlm-and-bluewater-racing-to-the-nmea-proxy/

Unfortunately I'm a mac user and I really didn't find a working solution to connect sol to qtvlm (the only mac running router).
Brainaid proxy seems to work correctly (I suppose...)

Qtvlm is usable without connection, but I have to manually input boat position every time I want to compare my strategy with the software generated route

Is there any mac user that has successfully succeeded in connecting sol to qtvlm?

Thank you in advance,
ciao
Enrico

It works on Mac OS (OS X 10.9.5) too.
Just downloaded the new version of qtVlm (5.2-3).
Used ip-address and port from brainaids NMEA.
This is new in boat options.
qtVlm crashed once, but seems stable for the moment.

Thank You to the qtVlm team

qtvlm 5.3-0 configuration tcp connection to brainaids NMEA-proxy is now found under <qtvlm><configuration><nmea connections> at the bottom. I use <TCP> server1.
