Are you looking at the GPS time or the computer time? The computer time and The GPS time can be off
by one or two hours depending on the timezone setting but this isn't a problem because Amverseas takes it's
time from the GPS.

That said, the GPS was recently updated with Garmins new Firmware fix so it is possible that it is suffering from a
firmware bug.

Reboot the computer and see if that helps.

You could also unplug the Iridium interface box for 10 seconds and then plug it back in.

This will reset the GPS but it will also reset the weather station. Make sure to stop the weather station data collection
in the GUI before the restart. Actually close the progam. After the power has been restored, wait 15 seconds and 
open the data collection program and set to 60 seconds and start collecting data again.


Let me know how it goes.

Hey Pedro,

Just wanted to let you know the ship has stopped and is now drifting.

Also, something happened when I was sleeping. I think the GPS stopped working correctly. If you compare DCUJ2_20190528023900_N05_XBT.bin to DCUJ2_20190528032100_N04_XBT.bin or even the one before that, the coordinates change dramatically. Also, the time is incorrect. It should have been 0439 not 0239. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Patrick
