Hello Gentlemen
I am hoping for some assistance.
I have onboard my ship currently 2 Navnet VX2 displays one we currently use as a Radar display and the other as a Chart Plotter Display.
The Chart plotter display is constantly tempremental and when turning on will briefly show the opening screen with the VSL and the loading bar then turn black displaying only the loading bar. Then it will stay like that for hours on end. This is an ongoing problem and we have had little results in solving it but any suggestions would be welcome.
The second issue and most pertinant issue;
The radar until last week worked perfectly but currently will not update the GPS position, SOG etc as we move. I have played around with the source settings in the menue and if i change the source to all and turn to the display mode it briefly keeps in contact with the GPS before freezing in the position again.
It is concerning as we are due to sail on the 4th of august and it completely disables out ability to use ARPA.
I have little knowledge of the system and it's set up but i am good at troubleshooting things. i'm hopnig this is a simple case of a setting being changed somwhere that i cannot locate.
I hope you can provide some assistance and i thank you in advance on any insight you can provide.
Some Aditional Info:
We have two GPS Antennas both of which are Furuno GP-32.
It seems to talk to the GPS priefly before loosing contact and the GPS Sensor test displays the "No Position Fix Available"
Other external Kit conected is an Fununo AIS and Furuno Satilite Compass There is an Scho sounder in the mix aswell but I think it was initally for providing a STW log but has not been talking to the NAV Net since i have been onboard, nether can i figure out if it even has a Speed Log Function on it.
