Changelog:

  • AIS Receiving has been improved dramatically

  • A bug in the GPS software has been fixed, there will be much less errors in SeaIQ from now on.

  • We added a new feature called “ROT-Smoothing”, the purpose behind this is to deliver a smoothed but still accurate and fast Rate of turn value for long turns. We advise to set this setting Off when there is necessarily for extreme fast movement recognition (for example docking). This setting can be activated by: PilotPlug Manager -> Configuration -> Advanced Settings -> ROT -> Smoothing > ON/OFF

  • Data logging internal AIS & Sensor logging– Requires special/custom PilotPlug version. Please get in touch with us when you require to use this new feature.

  • Rate of turn calibration will now be correctly displayed in SeaIQ.
    We advise to update your PilotPlug as soon as possible to make sure you have the best possible experience with your device.
