= Project's goals=

QtVlm is a routing software for virtual and real sailing boats. QtVlm is used in two modes:
* '''Virtual Racing''' designed to manage and pilot virtual boats from [http://www.virtual-loup-de-mer.org '''Virtual loup de mer'''] VLM virtual races.
* '''Real Boats''' connected (or not) to a GPS device.

QtVlm uses boat polar diagrams and grib weather files, and includes
* ''Routing'' module (isochrons method),
* ''Route'' module respectively allowing route optimization and waypoints management.

* The installer will ask your choice, if you do not know, you can keep the default settings.
* For maps you must select 'download maps' if you do not have them, or wait until the first execution of the program will ask you to download the maps or to specify the folder where they are if you have already.
* After installing, you can launch qtVlm user interface with all functions. Default language is French when starting, language can be modified to english on options menu.
* A message will be displayed at application start up if a new release is available.

* qtVlm previous release are here: [http://www.virtual-winds.com/~oxygen/index.php qtVlm for Windows]

[[http://wiki.virtual-loup-de-mer.org/index.php/QtVlm/en Back to summary]]

== Macintosh Installation ==

* Download the last release without maps:
** For OS X Snow Leopard (64 bits), Lion and Mountain Lion, download 64 bits release : [http://www.virtual-winds.com/~oxygen/mac/index.php?mode=1&disp_file=qtvlm_app-3.3.5-64bits qtvlm_app-3.3.5-64bits]
** For OS X Snow Leopard (32 bits) and Leopard, download 32 bits release : [http://www.virtual-winds.com/~oxygen/mac/index.php?mode=1&disp_file=qtvlm_app-3.3.5-32bits qtvlm_app-3.3.5-32bits]
* Unzip it where you want. The maps will be downloaded if necessary.
* You can then execute qtVlm with all its functions. By default the application starts in French, but you can setup the language to English in the options menu.

* qtVlm previous release are here: [http://www.virtual-winds.com/~oxygen/mac/ qtVlm for Macintosh]

Thanks to Farangfrog for this compilation.

[[http://wiki.virtual-loup-de-mer.org/index.php/QtVlm/en Back to summary]]

== Linux Installation ==

'''Debian / Ubuntu :'''
* Install the packages needed to compile:

:''#apt-get install make''
:''#apt-get install gcc''
:''#apt-get install g++''
:''#apt-get install qt4-qmake''
:''#apt-get install qt4-dev-tools''

You must have at least QT 4.8.0.

* Get the sources from the svn [ svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/qtvlm/code/trunk svn]
Move to trunk directory and run a make;

* The Makefile containing qtVlm now install target, who can do a clean install of qtvlm.
The installation is default in ~/qtVlm but configurable by editing the Makefile and changing the variable prefix. See (in french) [[Modifier le makefile]].

* Maps items are not part of svn and are automatically downloaded if not existing, polar files too.

* For more information see the topic (in french) : [http://www.virtual-winds.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=6794 Compilation de qtVlm]

[[http://wiki.virtual-loup-de-mer.org/index.php/QtVlm/en Back to Summary]]

== zyGrib POIs==

You can eventually import zyGrib POIs into qtVlm.

[[http://wiki.virtual-loup-de-mer.org/index.php/QtVlm/en Back to Summary]]

= Main Functions =

* qtVlm is a '''Grib Viewer''' (qtVlm is derived from zyGrib) and a '''routing software'''
* Download and load grib files from VLM (5 days), zyGrib (1 to 8 days) or SailDocs (1 to 16 days). QtVlm accepts many other grib sources.
* Display meteo faxes
* Two Modes: [[QtVlm_Virtual_Race_Mode | ''Virtual Race Mode'']]: Configure VLM player account and boats, or [[Real_boat_management | ''Real Boat Management Mode'']]: Define a real boat connected or not to a GPS
* Send GPS trace to a port, for other applications (Google Earth, routing software, ...)
* Define routes (succession of waypoints) with many options (route from boat or from a fix point, starting time, navigation mode, coast collision, etc)
* Calculate where you will be after a given time in several mode (fix TWA, fix heading, etc)
* Move POIs and WPs (shift-click)
* '''Create a routing''' and then convert it to a Route.
* Display or not a Compass and the boat's polar on the map, with various options
* Display/Hide various object on the map
* Save 4 map positions/zooms via ctrl+F9/F12 et restore them via F9/12
* and a lot more....

In case you use qtVlm to manage VLM virtual races, you can:

* Visualize all your boats on the map
* Send orders to the selected boat
* Manage auto pilot [[qtVlm_autopilot_VLM|VLM Autopilot management]]
* Define your VLM current WP with a simple click [["Mon WP"/en|My WP]]
* QtVlm will import and display automatically gates and race's WPs from VLM
* Etc...

* In order to preserve VLM servers, the refresh of the boat's position is not automatic, you need to press <VLM sync> or <F5> to update your VLM's position.

[[http://wiki.virtual-loup-de-mer.org/index.php/QtVlm/en Back to Summary]]

= Quick start up=

* First install the program
* If you want to use qtVlm with VLM (Virtual Loop du Mer) Virtual Racing, you need to:
** Register in VLM (free) http://www.virtual-loup-de-mer.org/
** Join a race on VLM site (free): http://www.virtual-loup-de-mer.org/
** Start QtVlm go to boat menu to define your account [[qtVlm_menus#Boat Menu|(more help)]]
* In the toolbar select the boat you want to send order to (14) on [[qtVlm_toolBar|qtVlm toolbar]]
* You then need to load a Grib file from the Grib menu. To start with something select VLM grib. After download the grib is displayed. In the toolbar you can click on the arrows (7) and (9) on [[qtVlm_toolBar|qtVlm toolbar]] to change the date/time displayed.
* Create a route with menu Routes>Create a route ([[qtVlm_create_a_route|more help]])
* Create 2 waypoints (POIs) by right-clicking somewhere on the map, call them POI_1 and POI_2 for instance. In the dialog assign them to the route you just created. ([[qtVlm_create_a_POI|more help]])
* By default intermediary POIs are not displayed. You can change this behavior in the route's options.
* The route takes WPs in alphabetical order, so it will first go from you boat to POI_1 and then from POI_1 to POI_2. If the option "Detect Coast Collision" is activated, the route will change color if crossing coasts.
* You can then for instance move the last POI with <shift-click> and see the date of arrival (ETA) being recalculated.
* To start, setup the boat in VBVMG mode (VBVMG button on the boat's panel [[qtVlm_componants|more help]]) to the first WP (POI_1) (Right click on it and select "mark->WP VLM")
* This intermediary POI can be moved with <shift-click/drag> ([[qtVlm_do_route|more help]]).
* You can also automatically optimize the POI position on the route (right-click, menu "Optimize").
* QtVlm also has a routing module, available in the menu 'Routing->Create a routing' [[Routing with qtVlm|(more help)]]

* '''For more details see:''' [[Tuto_video_pour_qtVlm|video tutorial]]
