The Madagascar reverse…

I’ve made a normal routing between the Madagascar South tip and the North one obtaining the dark Isochrones field and the path in blue color - pls see attached pic.
From Start to Finish waypoints the routing went along the Madagascar East coast.

After I’ve made a second run for calculating the reverse Isochrones (red color ones) and, to my totally surprise ….. it went along the West coast!

No barriers at all were used for both routing processes.
And, IMHO, it shouldn’t be used as I was calculating the “reverse”, e.g., it should have gone in the opposite direction of the direct routing path, but along the Madagascar East coast.
Or not?

(meanwhile the routing calculations didn’t stop yet….)

Additional info.

TS: 5 minutes.
Angular step: 3,00º.
Scanning angle: 180,00º
Prune angle: 2,00º

Yes clearly it should have gone on the same side as the normal isochrones, probably a bug here due to the coast configuration. I assumed you used the reversed-isochrone function in routing?

This function is useful to determine zone of incertitude (where the envelop is thin). You can see it as "where would it be best to come from in order to be there?". If the arrival point is in such a zone I suppose the algorithm might get confused so to say, and opt for the wrong side.

Viva Philippe.

Yes, the process for generating the "Madagascar reverse" was correct, exactly the same used for generating the one that goes on the attached file - pls have a look on it - in this case with success.

I didn't tried yet, but one way to overcome this "bug" was to use a "vertical" barrier extended to the North of the Finish waypoint (Start waypoint for the reverse) to avoid a reverse routing on the wrong side of the Madagascar Coast.

A Big Hug from here!

Hello,

AIS module is almost finished and we will open beta testing soon. If some of you are interested to help, just leave a message here (you can test that through brainaid nmea/ais interface).

Fair winds to all
Philippe.

Ciao Maitai, I have just write on VLM forum, but perhaps this is a better place to test AIS (in vlm other boats are already visible...).

So, I would try to test. I'm not sure if I'm able to (I'm non an IT technician...), but if you want I can try. As you probably know I attend races both here and on vlm.
Cheers
Hello,

I sent you a message at VLM forum with the links to the beta version

Thanks
Philippe
ok, thanks maitai. I'll see asap
Bucefalo - When you "master" the beta, could you then (here in forum) give us a little "manual" ?

Brisbane to Keppel Tropical Yacht Race 2025

Haugesund to Reykjavik 2025


In late April 2016 Draken Harald Hårfagre, the worlds largest viking ship built in modern times, left her home port in Haugesund, Norway and sailed off for a challenging voyage across the North Atlantic Ocean.
The aim was to explore and relive one of the most mythological sea voyages – the first transatlantic crossing, and the Viking discovery of the New World, more than a thousand years ago. History tells us about the Viking explorer, Leif Eriksson, who discovered America over 500 years before Christopher Columbus. The expedition was all about exploring the world, just like the Vikings did.
Sailonline is racing the 1000 nm first leg, from Haugesund, Norway, to Reykjavik, Iceland in our Farr 400. Let us sail in the wake of history on this epic adventure!

Africa by Sea - Swakopmund to Maputo 2025


Time again to continue our exploration of Africa by Sea, which now takes us around the tip of the continent at Cape Agulhas and up the coast of South Africa to Mozambique’s marvellous Maputo, where we should find good anchorage in the bend of the Rio Espirito Santo (Umbuluzi) once we’ve cleared the 60m high Maputo - Katembe suspension bridge. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!
