This is an amazing hud that so far seems to work great so far.
The instruction video is great and simple to learn from.
Thanks for this great job of keeping me from going in circles

Its' a very helpful HUD, with a pretty small script that on sim crossing doesn't give you big issues. Sometimes happened that it stop working after a simcrossing.
It gives you all the basic but necessary infos you need to sail safe to your destination.
Thanks for give it for free.

For a free item this HUD is excellent and great help to sailing single handed.

Set up your list of way-points from the main map and copy and paste them into a NC all as per the instructions - put the NC into the HUD. Now the trick to seeing the main map and the beacons is to left click the top window of the HUD. That one move makes this item first class as it brings up the map and the beacon to your next way-point. (I do have RLV enabled).

As a sailing aid and a free one too I really cannot fault it so it gets the full 5 stars and compliments to a creator and some very clever scripting.

Does not work.

This outfit didn't even work --whether or not, I was moving. Marker, never changes. Not, ever. Downloaded 3 times..tried, 3 times. Nothing. Worthless.

I am familiar with --and have used-- both the Light & Pro versions --all, of which, work in the same viewer with no, issues. Got this, one, for another, seldom-used, alt.

Where's the beacon?

The gadget readout works fine, but I can't get a beacon, even though, as near as I can tell from the somewhat mystifying instrux, I have my RLV properly enabled. The instrux could be clearer, but that's always the case with documentation.

Amazing

Thanx, a very useful gadget indeed, ..once you figured out how it work.. Hint: the "compass" wont budge while u're stationary, it only showing direction when u move.. After finished configurating this hud, i dont even need to open the map to navigate at the Blake Sea! Maybe more documentation and explainations nedeed though.
