We have also discussed this with Victron. They will address it for all Cerbo GX Mk2s.

You're welcome, we are glad to hear it worked out well. You can now proceed with onboarding on Saillogger, which should only take a couple of minutes: https://saillogger.com/getting_started/victron_gx

Good luck and let us know if you encounter any other issues.

Can you change the interface to vecan0 and restart Cerbo GX?

Hi @ilederey , thank you for your post. Problem is indicated on the dashboard status page. It gives an error stating "Error creating channel". We have never seen that error before so it is strange. Can you click on that connection and send the connection details? A working one should look like this:

Hi John, thank you for bringing this to our attention. This was due to changes introduced for Plugin 4.0. We hadn’t realized that these changes would affect the experience for a fast boat like yours, so appreciate the note.

We have just deployed an update to improve the frequency and granularity of log entries for higher speeds. This change will be reflected in your next trip, and no action is needed from you. Please let us know how it works out the next time you are on the water!

Hi @WJGreene2025, Saillogger is a feature-rich tracking and advanced monitoring system designed to go beyond basic location tracking. It offers comprehensive features such as:

Detailed trip logs: Automatically segmented into individual trips, including specific location names where you anchor, dock, or moor.

Micro-blogging: Easily document and share your journeys.

Detailed statistics: Gain insights into time spent at anchor, dock, mooring buoys, or home/foreign ports, and track visits to different countries or regions.

Advanced NMEA2000 monitoring: Ability to associate any custom NMEA2000 data with trip logs for future reference or diagnosis.

Saillogger is compatible with multiple data sources, including PredictWind's DataHub and Victron GX devices. Some features, such as NMEA2000 monitoring, depend on the underlying platform.

You can continue using DataHub as a data source while benefiting from Saillogger advanced tracking and analytics capabilities.

If you decide to transition from DataHub to a Victron-based solution, Saillogger can also support importing your historical tracks from PredictWind.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask if you have any questions or need further clarification.

Plugin version is available on Saillogger settings in the boat tab: https://saillogger.com/settings/?tab=boat

Please try plugin version 4.0.2 that we just published. It increases the refreshment timeout to 90 seconds, hopefully it will solve your problem.

I think things are getting a bit confused here. You don't want to rebroadcast data, you want fresh data relatively frequently. Saillogger requests the path every minute and checks the age of the data. If it is more than 60 seconds, it doesn't consider it fresh enough. Otherwise what it displays would be obsolete information (i.e. it is identical to rebroadcasting the stale data into Saillogger).

Which plugin is this and how frequently is the data refreshed (like not rebroadcast but actually refreshed)?

Some fun fact on this, here is what it looks like when visualize Saillogger's AIS coverage. It is pretty impressive!

What do you see in the databrowser for those values and how often to they update? Saillogger normally ignores values that are older than 60 seconds. Almost all instruments report values every couple of seconds in general, so 60 seconds should have a lot of buffer.

Hi @SV_Atlas , it is possible to add any NMEA 2000 data monitoring and with plugin version 4 they are also associated with your trip logs. Please see the announcement here: Plugin 4.0: A Game-Changer for Saillogger!

We have also published a video tutorial explaining how to use this functionality: Saillogger NMEA 2000 Monitoring

Let us know if you encounter any problems using it.

Thank you Bill, what a wonderful feedback—you made our day!

We are following Harmonie’s journey and hope we can cross waves somewhere in the Bahamas this season, so we can cheers in real life. Safe travels and happy Saillogging until then!

Thank you for the recommendation—these are great suggestions! I’d love to hear from other community members as well, so here are some initial thoughts:

We really appreciate contributions related to weather, since better weather data benefits everyone by improving planning and forecasts. That’s why we integrated Windy functionality into Saillogger and assumed ownership of the Windy Signal K plugin under Saillogger, which doesn’t require a Saillogger subscription.

As for the AIS fleet idea, Saillogger’s AIS fleet already covers more ground than some of the other options out there, especially if you’re interested in vessels scattered across remote cruising areas like Alaska, British Columbia, and the Caribbean. The challenge, however, is that displaying large amounts of AIS data on a map can be taxing on browsers, so some technical optimizations are needed to keep performance smooth. It’s definitely feasible—other platforms with numerous markers do it—but we want to ensure it remains efficient for users.

Ahoy, Boaters!

We have some exciting news: Saillogger Android is officially available on Google Play!

Nice, please share when done!

Hi @MacJL, that's an interesting case. Currently, there isn't a way to add it manually, but that shouldn't be necessary. If you check Saillogger about an hour after the engine starts running, the path should show up automatically. It will remain available even after the engine stops, as long as Signal K isn’t restarted.

Hi Michael, you can choose anything you like but Signal K reference actually recommends inside . You can see the reference guide here.

After you make a change to available data keys, it may take up-to an hour for Saillogger to recognize that change, as it requires retrieving updated metadata. Restarting Signal K can speed that up to about 5 minutes but it is not required.
