ClickToBoat.Com- “Vanishing Waypoints” with “Check Trips” Service has been resolved.

The following reported issue of "vanishing waypoints" with Trip Check function that allows you to upload and check your saved Trips under Trip Planning and My Trips services has been resolved.


Issue -


In Trip Planning -> Check Your Trip OR My Trips -> Check My Trips services when you upload saved file in .gpx format (standard GPS XML format) of a saved route in Step - 2 to see the trip ticket and route plotted on the NOAA Charts/Maps and Satellite Imagery - the plotted waypoints would sometimes vanish or did not show up in the NOAA Maps Tab. You could see the Waypoints plotted on Satellite Imagery tab but not NOAA Charts/Maps tab


The issue has been resolved and now you can see the Waypoints plotted on NOAA Charts/Map Tab and they do not vanish on moving between NOAA Charts/Map , Satellite and Trip Ticket tabs or any mouse movement on the waypoints for checking location based services.

ClickToBoat.Com - My Trips -> Show My Trips ->Map-It function update.

The following reported issue with Map-It function in "Show My Trips" service has been resolved.

Issue - My Trips -> Show My Trips ->Map It link -> When you clicked on Map-it link next to a saved route to see the route plotted on the NOAA Charts and Satellite Imagery was not working for routes with more than 5 waypoints.

The issue has been resolved and now you can click on map-it link next to any saved route to see the route plotted on the NOAA Charts and Satellite pictures and trip ticket.
