Installation is done simply by running the setup to download from Virtual-Winds.com: Router

The Setup will install the following files and folders: Router: File Basic application

• GRIB2: Folder for recovery and processing of weather data

• Router file storage application

Configuration

1st Launch

At first launch, the program will copy the file routeur.ini in the% APPDATA% \ sbs \ router, then open it for you so that you can enter the login information of your boat and the race course. Once these changes completed (see next § for the content of the configuration file) you can restart the router will ask for your password VLM in order to connect to the site and retrieve information about your boat.

Configuration File

The application has no interface for configuration. It is therefore necessary to update the configuration file Routeur.ini hand.

The parameters are:

 [INFO]
 Nick =''Put here your username vlm''
 NumBoat =''Put here the number of boat vlm''
 StartLat =''Put here the latitude of the race''
 StartLon =''Put here the longitude of departure''
 ; Map Level
 C crude
 L low
 ; I intermediate
 H high
 F Full
 Maplevel = l''Put the appropriate level depending on the files you''
 ;
 ; Grid Grain (How far the routing points are from each other)
 ;
 ;
 GridGrain = 0.01''Detail Level''routing


 [Route]
 WP1 19,000 -80,750 19,250 -81,750 Rank WP1
 WP2 22,000 -82,000 22,333 -83,000 Rank WP2
 WP3 22,058 -83,950 22,041 -83,950 Finish Cortes

 [RaceZoneOffset]
 south = 0
 north = 0
 west = 0
 south = 0

If you copy the table from the WP page of sailing instructions, you can paste directly into the file. Then simply delete the WP0 and put the coordinates in StartLat and StartLon.

GridGrain The parameter determines the fineness of the grid on which the program calculates the route. The higher the number, the routing is more accurate, but it takes more time. I advise you not to fall below .01, unless you have a lot of time and a PC with a lot of RAM.

For the race weekend and permanent short maplevel use f and gridgrain 0.01. For big races, like around the world or Route tea maplevel l gridgrain 0.1 and you will avoid errors like "out of memory".

The [RaceZoneOffset] to expand the area of the map that is calculated from the WP and the current position of the boat. For each direction, indicate how many degrees must enlarge the area of the map.
