A number of error or info messages may appear in some situations, as listed below:
- Could not find a closest point to destination, exiting.
This message appears if the first isochrone cannot be calculated. It's a data problem: either the boat's data, or the target's position, or the GRIB forecast file. So you either have to wait for a new boat position, or move the target, or reload the weather (in Settings panel), or wait...
- The last boat position received from VR was more than 10 minutes ago. Please wait for a position refresh before performing a routing calculation
This message is usually the result of a clock offset between eSail4VR and Virtual Regatta. You need to set the time on your device to “automatic”.
- Routing calculation stopped as we reached the routing max duration.
eSail4VR offers routing for up to 15 days, based on the 16-day GFS weather model. If your target is not accessible after 15 days, routing stops before reaching your destination. This is called partial routing.
- Impossible to route as it starts after the weather forecast has ended
For some unknown reason the most recent weather did not load. You must refresh in settings the download before routing.
- Routing calculation stopped as we reached the end of the weather forecast
Routing stops before reaching your target because it is too far away for the duration of the forecast. Get closer to your target.
- Failed to calculate isochrone. Stopping calculation.
You have run into an exclusion zone (AEZ, TSS, etc.) and routing cannot be calculated. You must exit out of this zone manually in Virtual Regatta
- The routing failed as your boat is grounded
You have to refloat your boat manually in Virtual Regatta and wait for your boat be afloat before retry a new routing.
- Routing calculation stopped as we no longer progress towards the target :
At the end of the calculation on a long routing, the isochrones are too far apart to deploy correctly. A pivot point needs to be placed to refine the end of the route with tighter isochrones.
