I'm also having trouble updating to the latest version, the one with the "speed genie". Like Grumps I'm starting navifu from the directory with his same 3 same files. But I get the password request. I have successfully updated the firmwear previously? What's changed, I can't remember being asked for a password before?

When I was in the NAViFu programme, I wrongly chose the NAVI_FW_V162B0910a and hit execute and that brought up the password box.
I hadn't extracted the Navi_fw.s file from the NAVI_FW_V162B0910a folder, once I extracted it and pointed to the right file it worked fine.

Maybe that helps.

Thanks Nat, yes that was the problem. A Navifu quirk, the password box that came up should have been a "wrong file format" box. New version V1.62(B0910a) now loaded.

Ian K how did you go recording? for some reason it recorded to the card a file with .SBN file name. NAVi recorded OK, but I didn't get any data too the card that realspeed can read, on my session today.?
Think I may have to start from scratch to set up the card

Hey Mineral1, Mal recommends SBN files for realspeed, so it's all sweet mate
Go to his site and look up GT11, he tells you how to set up the Navi how he likes, good enough for this black duck

I downloaded the latest works fine, except now it doesn't show the "1HOUR" in realspeed even though I added the division.
Any Ideas??

I think the answer is to un-tick the box in the one hour division properties called 'Strict (No Invalids). Otherwise Realspeed throws out any runs with dropped trackpoints/data points and that often means you have no runs an hour long.

Open the divisions window. Right click on the one hour division to get to and edit the properties.

Hope this fixes it

I too continually get nothing in the 1 hr division, tho the 'strict' box is un-ticked. Using ver 1.913. Any other ideas?
Also, when I run the same file through different versions of Realspeed, I somethmes get different max. results... sometimes a couple of knots difference. Any ideas?

Mike,

I had some problems with 1.9???. Weird results -Same 2s and 10s speeds.

I'm running 1.918 - no problems.

Weird results yer that was due to the div not being set up.
Mikey what are you doing mate haha, Download the latest version.
you may still have probs with the 1 hour though but if you change the 1 hr properties to use doppler instead of trackpoints that should work.

THANX SailQuik
Couldn't quite figure to do it that way I've got Realspeed 1.804
Anyway basically what you said...
Click 'edit' then 'delete invalid' works great

Hi Vando, have the latest CHALKO version...just got it from simon and is set to Doplier. Cant work out the 1000+ km tho and track just a pink line. Had no probs with original firmware, and could reset max speed without having to toggle. May just change back! Or may just appear on your doorstep!

Ok. One last question... why, whe I run my file through different people's version of realspeed do I get different results? Same has happened on my 2 diff versions- up to 2kts difference?

Vando, my MEMORY CARD menu has no "on fix"...only LOG SWITCH, which is on.

Found it. Thanks vando. May have to get you to help me update to ver 912a, which I read on gps-speedsurfing is the latest. God I am going to annoy you in the car on the way to S.P.[}:)]

Mikey some of the beta versions that were released the div weren’t setup and another version that div were set to Doppler by default. This is the prob with people checking there own data.
I’ve always believed in having time keepers checking people data.
They use the same version, same settings to check every ones tracks.
I like the system that gps-speedsurfing has where all pb's are verified. Maybe its something we can think about for the future.

Great for PB etc, but if I just want to check my data from a fun days sailin, would be nice if things worked consistently. What versions of Realspeed and Navi firmware are we up to now....and will it ever stop or keep changing weekly?

Or even better....pick ONE official version of each and don't change it for the rest of the year. Or is that too simple a solution!

Wot a great job- one person checking everyone of the 100s of competitors tracks. You would pray for no wind by the end!

Yes that's the problem that GPS-SS has. There are lots of postings on their forum asking why their numbers aren't included in the table, and it's invariably because some poor timekeeper hasn't gotten around to trolling through megs and megs of data for that day to get the numbers out.

My time is more precious than that, and if you cheat, then you're only really cheating yourself...

well oringinaly we had team captains who were going to check there teams results. what happend?
another way would be to upload every ones track for all to look at.
would be a good idea and you also look where guys are sailing on google. Not sure if we have the storage space though.
