AIRNAV SYSTEM UPDATES.
« on: April 15, 2012, 05:12:36 PM »
Hello Everyone,

Does anybody know of any Hardware to Firmware updates for the AIRNAV SYSTEM pending or ready to be released to add functionality to there existing system.

I know the focus has been on AIRNAV SHIPTRAX SYSTEM which has now been released.

The hobby seems to be moving to additional connectivity for example SBS-3.

Kind Regards

Paul

As Airnav promised to sort out the existing bugs with a new firmware/software update after the release of ShipTrax, I'm sure an announcement isn't too far off, MW0CVW.

I'm not going to hold my breath though!

Hi, I have recently purchased AirNav RadarBox 9.
It says on the box, "this product is eligible for a FREE upgrade to RadarBox 10".
Is there a link for me to do this upgrade?

What grounds do you have for saying that Alan?

If you go back over previous posts on the subject and the replies received from Airnav, they are completely rewriting the software as opposed to updating the current version. 

I know its not the best but the search facility should assist.

Rather think they're bows under with ShipTrax at the moment judging by the ST forum.

Very little on there to suggest that and wouldnt think the mapping issue being worked on by one programmer will have any impact on Airnav development.

The only issue I'm aware of with ShipTrax is the maps problem, and that's a server side problem caused by a change in the way OSM maps are delivered.  I can't imagine that will impact on RB development significantly. In fact, I would imagine that getting OSM maps working will feed into RB development anyway.

Otherwise ShipTrax has been remarkably bug free.

I'm a bit more lost than usual here guys.

"Completely re-writing the software" I assumed to be a reference to new software coming for the current box. What is Tarbat's RB2 please or is that simply the name given to this software exercise?

Sorry for the confusion, I shouldn't have used the phrase "RB2" - I'm probably a bit out of touch with current status.  AFAIK, software development is ongoing, but I've had little contact with Airnav over the last few months due to medical issues.
