Thought I responded last night but must have got lost in the lousy (though free) hotspot.ġ - OK, I'll cede that one. Apple claims this is resolved in OS X 10.5 What happens is the BT port goes away and this not only freezes MacENC but causes OS X to be unstable. I have seen this prior to MacENC 5.20 (which now handles OS X sleeping by closing all open ports) when using a Bluetooth GPS. If there is no raster chart that intersects where you are viewing, then "Raster Chart" on the view menu will be deselected. As my dad used to say, if it were a snake it would bite you! Other units metric/standard are selected in the MacENC preferences. The depth units are displayed in the Chart Title bar. It's dead calm inside, and the kids are diving off the dock.
One one occasion I had to reboot the computer to get it free.īlowing 35+ outside the harbor so I'm spending another sunny day in Walter's Cove. I know how to find this in GPSNavX, but haven't found it in MacENC.Ģ - Frequently when zooming, and sometimes while doing other operations, the 'view Raster Chart' option will become deselected, though I waasn't near the menu or the keys.ģ - several times, particularly if my laptop (a MacBook) has sat for a while untouched, MacENC will freeze.
Two problems, though, as I'm using the Canadian offical raster charts:ġ - How do I find the 'unit's' for a specific chart, especially whether depths are meters or fathoms? Canadian charts vary (not all yet converted to metric) and it's not necessarily obvious.
I've been cruising for the past 6 weeks in BC: the Queen Charlottes and am now on the west coast of Vancouver Island, and found a hot spot.īeen giving MacENC a good run and am very pleased.
