beacon to locate lost boat

[Cathypie]

hi, I need someone to put a script on my sailing boat that sends me a message when I have lost the boat. anyone intereseted. I am a real novice so the person who does this would have to put it on boat etc. ty

I'll send you one that I wrote when I login a bit later

Thanks. Have used it. how near to the boat do I have to be to get the I'm? Also is it possible to turn it on and off, and change the gap between ins?

What it does is a bit smarter.

For the first 5 minutes, it informs you once per minute, then once every 10 minutes for an hour, then once per day and only when you're online. (something like those times, I forget precisely what I did)

The messages are grid wide and there's no on/off as that would defeat the purpose if you were to turn it off and then leave the object somewhere.

Of course makes sense. Really dumb me but what do the three numbers I get mean and can I go to them? If so how. TY

yes you can just either enter the coordinates into the map (including the region) or click the sending object name and use the dialog you'll get from the viewer to TP
