Some customers have been experiencing Russian GPS Jamming in Baltic countries, where the GPS doesn’t return to the correct location and it has to be fully rebooted. A way around this is would be to operate the units in GLONASS only mode and this is probably the easiest way to safeguard against GPS Jamming. The signals of the two types of satellites are very close together and it is extremely difficult to jam one frequency and keep the other frequency unaffected. GPS, the centre frequencies are 1575.42 MHz (L1), 1227.6 MHz (L2) and 1176.45 MHz (L5). GLONASS operates as frequency divisional multiple access (FDMA) andRead More →

Unfortunately it isn’t as simple as just downloading the app on the new Mac and transferring the data over. If you backup/transfer your old mac to a new one, sometimes the problem is that the charts are still locked to the old computer. To transfer the data across, you will need to use the Mac OSX Terminal window. You need to use a ‘command line’ command to clear out the corrupted charts directory on your new Mac. 1) Exit NavLink Uk on your Mac 2) Open Terminal on your Mac and enter: rm -rf /Users/yourusername/Library/Containers/com.pocketmariner.seanav.gb.mac.dy/Data/Library/Application Support/NavLink UK/chartSets/gb/* Replacing yourusername with the user name you useRead More →
