General
Q. My
Navmaster settings (e.g., displayed chart and databases) are not opened
when I re-start the program.
A.
You need to use Workspace. Workspace is a very useful function in Navmaster.
It can keep track of the changes you make during a single time period
of use. Workspace records the options you set (e.g. the calculations you
want to apply to your passage plan), the chart (s) in use with their zoom
level and the database files loaded at exit. When re-loading Navmaster,
the same configuration is applied. You can set Workspace to operate in
one of two ways:
- It
can automatically keep track of the changes you make during a Navmaster
session, and save them at exit. When you re-start Navmaster the new
configuration is applied.
- You
can stabilise the workspace so that it is only updated when you save
it through the File menu. (File\Workspace\Save As)
To
set your preference, choose Options from the Tools menu and select the
workspace tab. Check “Auto Save Workspace” for Option 1, and
uncheck it for Option 2.
Q. I have
purchased Proudman Tidal Stream, but no tidal corrections are applied
to my passage plans?
A. Go
to the Route menu, Options, then Plan and check the tidal stream calculation
box (and variation and deviation boxes if you wish). Depending on your
workspace setting, these options will be saved, so that you do not have
to re-set them every time.
Q.
I have used the Range and Bearing tool, but cannot remove the information
from my screen?
A.
To remove the range and bearing information, either click F2 or click
the refresh button
Q.
How can I print a chart from within Navmaster?
A.
You can print the section of the chart you have open. Select File\Print\Preview\Chart\View
of Selected Chart. We recommend that you set up the page to print in landscape
and not portrait. Go into File\Page Set Up to alter the page orientation.
Q.
Why is Navmaster's processor usage so high?
A.
This is normal behaviour. Navmaster is a real time application, and is constantly monitoring
for input (for example, NMEA data). Navmaster uses most of the available free processor
resources so as to capture and process this data efficiently. This differs from applications
such as Word Processors which generally only perform processing after prompting from the user.
Navmaster is a multi-threaded application, and even when there is no NMEA information or other
external stimuli being fed into Navmaster, it still makes use of the processor time slices to
perform background monitoring.
