If your software can not be turn on in year 2010 here is the reason why:
ShipPlotter includes a feature whereby bearings can be displayed in degrees
Magnetic or in degrees True. To convert between the two, ShipPlotter uses the
World Magnetic Model (WMM) from the US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
(NGIA).
The coefficients for the model are gradually changing and are published by NGIA
every five years. The last model (valid from 2005) expired at midnight on 31
December 2009. The new model coefficients are contained in the "WMM.COF" file
which you will find in the files area of this group. Download the file and save
it in the ShipPlotter application directory (typically C:\Program
files\COAA\ShipPlotter\ but may be elsewhere on Vista/Win7 platforms) and
restart ShipPlotter. The error message will then disappear for the next five
years.
Future releases of ShipPlotter will contain the new model coefficients.
@AIS-Split: we did not have any notable lack of signals coming from ship-plotter sharers. Obviously everybody did care very well. Here in Germany a lot of "money mashines" and credit cards did not function after the new year begun. People had to go back to cash payment for a week. IT is not simple sometimes and small things create a big impact...
Thanks for the info and good luck. Greetings to Split, Lars
