Hello,
thanks Omar for the great job, I enjoy using VRTtool for the Vendee Globe.
As I'm a beginner I have an issue with the "ViewFinder on arrival" that I have set by inadvertance. I could not find how to set/unset this "target" and of course the VMC information is wrong. Could you indicate me what is the method to unset this feature. I tried to delete the reference of the arrival directly into the .nav file but without any success.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

In the boat attitude panel (the one with the boat instruments), click the settings
button (the one with the sliders, top right). This will open a small panel below where you can
set the destination, regatta start time etc...

Tricky...

Hello Omar,
Thanks for your prompt answer.
This is indeed from the small sub-panel linked to the boat attitude main panel that I activated the feature I call the "viewfinder", "circle with a cross inside" icon. I understand that activating this icon will help to set a target on the map in order to facilitate the finish but at this time of the game, this target can't be suppressed. Maybe it's a normal situation in the way this target is always present.
In my first analysis, this "viewfinder" is responsible of the wrong VMC information I have in the boat attitude panel (of course my way is the opposite of the arrival). I have tried to move it on my way and my VMC is good. I though it was only a pointer dedicated to point the finish line...I didn't well understood the extent of its role so I was a bit disturbed by the operation.
For the rest, the tool works fine since the latest revision.
Regards.

you see this "circle icon" in the program in places where you have to input point coordinates (lat/lon pairs)
You may type the coordinates or point in the chart. To point, click the circle icon followed by
a click on the chart at the desired position. After that second click, the coordinates are imported to the edit boxes.
