    Hi Brian, replied over e-mail but I suspect Venus 3.63 upgrade will not help as Signal K configuration is persisted across upgrades. There is no harm to try though.

    Checking the configuration, it looks like that section may be misconfigured. Make sure the Data Field section in the configuration is not empty. Also, for testing, please make sure you don’t change your monitoring configuration during a trip. Make any changes before starting or after completing the trip, but not in between.

    Let us know the outcome.

    Very interested in this! I have the yacht devices N2K gateway as well, and would like to be able to log how much of a journey was motor vs sail, and starting and ending engine hours.

    Hi @digger, welcome. You are spot on—if you want to share your position or logs with a select group of people, like your family, you can enable the public profile and set a password. That’s exactly what the password for the public profile is for.

    @admin Hi Admin, today I was able to go out by boat and I was able to verify that in the trip the number of engine hours was not recorded and I don't understand why, the RPMs are recorded as long as the engine is running of course and instead the pre-engines are not

    Hi @Andrea unfortunately no, all custom monitoring values are displayed in the same format like the second one. The latter one is specialized for reporting the house/main battery.

    Hi @jimholthaus, moorage name lookup in Saillogger is a multi-layer process. It uses four to five different types of logic to identify a moorage name, which can come from GIS sources, community-added moorages, or external references like Wikipedia.

    Moorages are created automatically, but once they exist, renaming them is straightforward as Kevin mentioned. Please let us know if you’d like any help with that.

    Hello John, That’s a good catch, I’m not the developer but I’m assuming that that was the most intuitive direction when he developed it. I’m guessing he’ll comment on this if need be. Thanks, Kevin.

    Thank you for the magic. I have now activated the Windy reporting option and will monitor the data on Windy to confirm all is as expected.

    Cheers, Bill on SV Denali Rose

    Thank you very much. Sadly we moved since Saillogger went down and I updated it. The .GPX track was to fill in our transit from when it went down and our new location where I brought it back up. Not the end of the world. Glad to have our beloved Saillogger back up and running!

    Glad to hear you sorted it out! For future reference, it may take up to an hour for new data keys to show up in Saillogger. This is only applicable for the initial configuration, once done data flows in regular one minute intervals.

    This was resolved in a different thread. Upgrading to the latest Victron firmware and installing Saillogger plugin 4.2.1 or later will work.

    Hmm, spotty access point should not cause this. It is almost always due to GPS. Please keep monitoring and let us know if you observe anything else that is unusual.
