Gregory's Server@rek what do you use to record these paths?
plz don't say you plot these manually.

  @nomand Yea, a live path made sense back then (to reassure friends/family). I could record our paths with our charplotter and/or Navionics from now on, stupidly enough this had not occurred to me (we've only had a chartplotter since 2022, and on long passages recording the path with Navionics would kill the phone's battery so we didn't bother). @rek Yes! I also found that if you have battery savings mode on, when you turn the screen off, GPS turns off too, and then you have a path with gaps and it messes with your average speed readings. My plan is to install a wireless charger in the cockpit, because wires are useless once anything splashes anywhere ^^ |
@nomand We usually send positions from our SAT phone, Devine could tell you more about it(Devine's dad helped us commit them online on longer trips), but for the path to SE Alaska I did - scold me now - do it manually, just because we hadn't sent positions daily, cause data wasn't cheap, but also because we'd have to send many per day to make a route that makes sense (it's better for open water sailing).
