Download and install
What are all these packages?
On Windows, the easiest way is to take the full "Full release for windows" (qtVlm_full.zip file), which contains all the elements needed to run the program. Other packages ("Binary for windows" and "General structure") only serve to limit the size of the download when you do not want to update a part of the program.
A == Where can I install QtVlm? ==
Anywhere on an internal or external drive, a USB key, on the desktop or elsewhere. The easiest way is to copy the file qtVlm_full.zip where you want to install the program and unzip it in the same place. This produces a file "qtVlm" in which the program is located qtVlm.exe launch. ( See here)
A == Where do we put the cards QtVlm? ==
The full version is already provided with a deck of cards (Grades 1-3) located in the directory "qtVlm \ maps \ GSHHS." But you can load maps more accurate and, after unzipping the file, add all the resulting files in the same directory. ( See here)

I wanted to transform == point-route-QtVlm in WP-A VLM for my boat and it became my VLM WP-B on another boat race: ==
Your map centered on your boat route A.
You have changed the way point following in WP-VLM by using the right-click function on a point-route, then 'Brand -> WP'.
The point road in question turned from black to red.
But you later found that it was your boat B, embarked on another run, heading towards the WP-VLM!
The most likely explanation is the following:
You selected, initially the boat B in the drop-down menu in the toolbar to work on the road to B.
Then you went to the boat's A by using the command right click on the map, then 'Center map here' to see your boat and work on A Road A.
Unfortunately, before sending your order 'Brand -> WP' VLM, you forgot to select the A boat from the dropdown menu and it is entirely logical that the WP is came to register the account of the boat B remained active!.
- 'Tip: Before you place an order from QtVlm to VLM, be sure to check the drop down menu is selected the right boat!
I replaced the original polar fleece and forced my way materializes more
You will need:
1. click 'Routes'
2. 'Edit a road'
3. select your route
4. in the Settings window, click on 'Submit'
The road originally scheduled will reappear!
I can no longer download the file zyGrib 7 days via the Menu bar \ GRIB File \ Download
You certainly have version 2.1-2. The functions 'download' and 'Info file' menu 'File GRIB' do not work on this version.
You need to install the latest version, instead of or in addition to your current version.
