Ok, your logs should be imported now. Your latest position might be off due to this import. If you bring up your Cerbo and wait for 10 minutes or so, this should all sort itself out. If not, try restarting Signal K.

PredictWind Track? -
Cumulative Track?Hi, thank you for the suggestion. The closest you can have for this is through timelapse: https://saillogger.com/svatlas/timelapse?speed=0
Having a toggle in the monitoring page is a good idea though, let us look into it!

PredictWind Track?Hi there,
You can use PredictWind or a Victron device (also a Raspberry Pi) for monitoring. Previously captured PredictWind tracks can also be imported. However, only one monitoring source should be used at the same time otherwise there will potentially be duplicate entries.
If you share your PredictWind tracker link with us, and are ok to clean up some duplicate entries (the ones that you have been created after you started using Saillogger that PredictWind also captured will potentially be captured twice), we can do the import for you!

Max Speed? Max TWS? Max AWS? Mileage run?Hi there, thank you for the recommendation!
While underway in a long passage that takes more than 24 hours, some of these are sent as a daily summary e-mail, though they are not available on the monitoring page. They can be added but the concern would be a more cluttered UI. We care about a UI that is as simple and intuitive as possible.
Let us work with our design team to see what options we can have here to balance more info with a clean interface. Thanks againfor the suggestion!

True vs Apparent Wind SpeedHi there,
For true wind speed and direction, you should toggle the following option on in the
derived-data
plugin:True Wind Angle, Direction and Speed
In order to calculate true wind values, the following are required:
navigation.headingTrue
navigation.speedThroughWater
environment.wind.speedApparent
environment.wind.angleApparent
speedThroughWater
should be coming from your speedometer, and when anchored, it will be zero, so no problems there.speedApparent
andangleApparent
come through wind instrument and should be fine too.headingTrue
is the tricky one, it normally comes through the heading sensor which is normally linked to autopilot but depending on your instruments, it may be sourced from elsewhere too. If you don't have all of these,derived-data
will not be able to calculate the true wind readings.You can see which ones are available in the data browser.
Good luck and happy Saillogging!

Do I have to do something special when I return home after a trip?You can plugin a USB based GPS to your monitoring device. Depending on what it is, it will require a configuration like gpsd, which may require you to do some tweaking.

Do I have to do something special when I return home after a trip?Hi Michael, everything is automated, so you do not need to do anything to finish a trip. However GPS readings are required to conclude a trip or monitoring to function.
More specifically on your questions:
-
You do need a GPS source for monitoring function as it relies on your position. Keeping an MFD on would be an obvious overkill though. Do you have any other GPS source like an AIS transceiver? Alternatively, you can just add a puck GPS to your monitoring device as a backup. Or if you have Starlink, we have a plugin to use it as a backup GPS source too.
-
You do not need to do anything to close the trip. It is all automated. The moment you turn on you MFD, Saillogger will conclude the trip has completed and will close it out automatically.
-
It is an hour after you finish your trip and yes it does depend on the GPS. This is important because Saillogger avoids short stops to get gas etc.
-
-
Change home port?Hi Michael, it is set through the moorage details page. Go to the mooring details page of the port you want to designate and you will find a "Home" checkbox.
-
Import Logs from other servicesHi there, we do support import from some services like PredictWind. Normally this will depend availability of raw and granular data (like position records captured over regular intervals). Do you have something like that or is export an option from Postgsail?

Realtime monitoring and logs intermittent does not show speed or speed is incorrectFew thoughts:
-
Speed over Ground reading seem to diverge a bit. There are 4 readings between zero and 0.15 m/s in 0.5 increments (after conversion 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 knots respectively). They are small numbers so hard to guess what they will show while underway. Do you know which one is the most accurate?
-
Do you have GPS source configured for Saillogger plugin configuration on Signal K?
-
If not, you could try specifying one of these (the most reliable) as a source? This is explained in Question 14 of the FAQ.
Independently, I can see a way to slightly improve this behavior in the plugin code but that will be compensating for lack of data and not really a solution for more accuracy. Ideal solution is somewhere in the above options.

Realtime monitoring and logs intermittent does not show speed or speed is incorrectThis is a bit of an odd case indeed. Looking at all the data points for log 15157, I see 10 of them 14 not having boat speeds but the remaining 4 do. For 14804 69 out of 100 are zeroes. So it is not everything is zero, but there are quite a few of zero boat speed readings. This is pretty unusual.
One thing to probe is the frequency of boat speed readings coming from your instruments to Signal K. For one reason another, a speed reading seems to be not sent in between data point collections. Can you go to Data Browser in Signal K and watch the value of
navigation.speedOverGround
? How often does it get refreshed? (the time field should indicate that) Relatedly, what kind of instrument (or instruments) is emitting thespeedOverGround
.To your question on exports, you can use https://saillogger.com/timelapse/export/ link to export one more log data points as GPX.
-
Realtime monitoring and logs intermittent does not show speed or speed is incorrectThank you for the note. Looking at logs, I see the max boat speed to be recorded as non-zero for all of the recent logs (verified 25 of them).
Is this for captured logs or the monitoring page? Could you send the specific log id so we can look in more detail?
Separately, what does Signal K show for wind speed in the Data Browser?

Not only that but you can also add comments while underway which show up in the log afterwards and for your followers realtime if you enable your public profile. More information is available here.

⚓ Introducing Geofencing: Set Your Boundaries, Stay in Control!We're very excited to unveil our latest feature in boat monitoring: Geofencing! Now, you can define your boat's virtual perimeter and receive instant notifications whenever it ventures beyond your designated boundaries.
What is Geofencing?
Geofencing empowers you to establish a digital enclosure around your boat by selecting multiple points on the map (with a minimum of three points). If your boat strays beyond this defined area, you'll receive timely alerts via email or push notifications—keeping you connected, no matter where you may be.
Why Geofencing?
While Geofencing isn't intended to replace traditional anchor alarms, it serves as a backup solution for remote boat monitoring. Here's how it can elevate your boating experience:
Peace of Mind: Rest easy knowing that you're always aware of your boat's movements, even when you're ashore.
Charter Boat Security: Chartering your boat? Ensure that charter boats remain within designated areas, enhancing safety and accountability.
Customized Control: Tailor your geofences to suit various scenarios, from safeguarding your vessel's mooring spot to monitoring restricted zones.
How to Harness the Power of Geofencing?
Getting started with Geofencing is a breeze:
Set Your Boundaries: Simply select your desired points on the map to create your geofence.
Stay Connected: Enable email or push notifications to receive alerts whenever your boat ventures beyond the established perimeter.
Peace of Mind: Enjoy the freedom to explore shore, knowing that Saillogger will watch your back!
