Navigation software review

Expedition Navigation Software Crack Forum Average ratng: 5,0/5 6299votes Check out Will Oxley's new book! Expedition Navigation Software - A Gentle Introduction. Will provides an expert walkthough on Expedition. Underdawg did an excellent job of explaining the rules. Here's the simplified version: Don't insinuate Pedo.

Warning and or timeout for a first offense. PermaFlick for any subsequent offenses Don't out members. See above for penalties. Caveat: if you have ever used your own real name or personal information here on the forums since, like, ever - it doesn't count and you are fair game. If you see spam posts, report it to the mods. We do not hang out in every thread 24/7 If you see any of the above, report it to the mods by hitting the Report button in the offending post.

We do not take action for foul language, off-subject content, or abusive behavior unless it escalates to persistent stalking. There may be times that we might warn someone or flick someone for something particularly egregious. There is no standard, we will know it when we see it. If you continually report things that do not fall into rules #1 or 2 above, you may very well get a timeout yourself for annoying the Mods with repeated whining. Use your best judgement. Warnings, timeouts, suspensions and flicks are arbitrary and capricious.

Deal with it. Welcome to anarchy.

If you are a newbie, there are unwritten rules to adhere to. They will be explained to you soon enough. Nick is delivering great new features in every version. V5 came out just this week. Excellent support +. If you consider the difference this kind of software can make in a distance race, it's probaby the best investment you can make (if your boat is reasonably well set up from the start)?

A new jib will make 1-2% difference - a good routing will be the difference between last and first place. It made me look like genius one or two time this season.

And since I'm not that smart, it was well worth the money for me. Expedition is pretty good.

My advice is you need to temper the suggested routes with your judgement. Do comparison routes, don't take suggested routes as gospel. If you use the tool for comparison of different scenarios, it is a valuable simulation. But - USE YOUR JUDGEMENT as a sailor! Many used Expedition going to Bermuda in 06 and ended up in the cheap seats because they did not check multiple route options. Lots of wining down there about, 'my routing software said go east!' You're right.

The routing is only as good as the data it has to work with. If the models get it wrong the route will be wrong too. It's great technology that can save you a ton of time, and do calculations that you would likely be too tired to do, or not have the time for.

The.fla can be output to.swf format, but Flash can't turn a.swf into a.fla; you'll need a special decompiler to do this. Muljtfiljm v formate fla. FLA files can contain video, audio, images, and other resources as well as scripting for how the other resources are to be used. Summary: 1.FLA is the working document while FLV is the finished product. 2.FLV is a streaming video format while FLA is the format for Flash authoring software. 3.FLV is often smaller than FLA.

But it, or any other technology, cannot replace wisdom and intuition, at least not yet. Expedition is a great value, especially given the fact that Nick routinely updates it for free to registered users. In'06 we used it to win our class for Newport Bermuda.

My navigator and I spent 3 months running simulations up to the date of the race. Doing this familiarized us with the process so well that when we got on the boat we already knew exactly what we were going to do.

As others have warned: Garbage in garbage out. As others found out: The recommended route is not always the best. In the case of the '06 Bermuda, the 'best' route was to go way east, but it was only 0.05% better in terms of time.

In terms of distance, it was about 20% worst than going straight down the rumb line! Which way would you go? Also you will need good polars. The other part that is critical is to be able to get up to date GRIBs. Routing software is useless wtih out good weather data. Out in the open ocean, the options are limited to sat connections and/or SSB modems. Thanks All, I'm sold.

I'm going to do the grb's via satphone. Should I go with a rail mount or can I get away with the hockey puck that is included with the rental (opinions on this vary)? We have used the 'bee-hive' antenna (from the automative kit) for our Globalstar with reasonable sucess. However these days the Globalstar service is less than stellar. Whatever phone you get, get it long enough before your first race with it to make sure that the system works (drivers installed for the modem on every comm port, etc). Expedition is pretty good.
