AyeTides XL 1.0.1 fixes a big memory leak that was causing the app to be terminated by the OS - still don't know how that one got by me! - and fixes a problem with non-hour-increment western time zones where the times would be off by an hour.

Just finished doing a power supply mod on a new MacMini.
It is running on 12Volts and is unbelievably fast.

Info on the mod is here:

I used my old Carnetix 2140, all I had to do was change it's primary output voltage to 12V from the old Mini setting of 18V.

Hi;

I've had 10-12 sailing days of experience with GPSnavX now, and am pretty pleased. One item that is a continuing aggravation is the "Track" feature.

I like that you can turn on tracking with command-T. However, the other preferences do not seem logical.

1) the default color is white!! Who can see that on a chart??
2) the default for show is off.
3) the default for capture is off. (I think that's the term used).

What I would prefer is that command-T turns on tracking, which automatically captures, and shows a track in a dark color.

I am competent to edit an xml preference list if you can offer advice on what parameters to edit. I would suggest too that others might prefer these normal settings, especially the dark color line.

This is probably more aggravating to me, running on a Dell Hackentosh with a crappy track pad....

Thanks

This question is for both iNavX and MacENC. Is it possible to view only one of the several tracks I have saved?
When they start to overlay each other, it gets visually confusing.

How do I e mail my present position and the track I have saved on my iPad?

It would be nice if, after importing Tide Station, there were a Tide icon attached. I tried adding my own but it didn't work.

We have been using iPad to navigate this Cowes Week, and very good it has been too!

One niggle I found is swapping between an open chart and Routes. If I go back to look at the upcoming legs of a Route I would prefer to be able to go back to the open chart with one-fewer-button-presses.

Going back to the folio of charts and then having to select the one you were using seems counter intuitive slightly.

Great App tho.
