Known Limitations
RayNmeaSimulator is intended for isolated simulation and inspection. It is not certified navigation equipment. These limits affect everyday operation.
| Area | Operating limitation |
|---|---|
| Actisense NGT-1 | Release RX-only; Debug ordinary TX experimental due to unresolved outbound corruption. Active route service excluded. |
| Chartplotter retrieval | The target must support the required route service. Actisense active retrieval is disabled; receiving navigation data does not imply route-database access. |
| Signal K | Supported publisher; no subscription into Viewer and no general receive-forward gateway |
| Bridge Mode | Bridge Mode is not available |
| Navigation outputs | XTE/navigation bindings are available; APB/RMB fields are manual, without automatic Vessel Movement bindings |
| Message coverage | GNSS reference-station/integrity fields are partial. AIS support is the listed Class B subset; unsupported radio/proprietary messages remain raw or unavailable. See the message references. |
| Files | Single ordered route import; no arbitrary multi-route merge or universal proprietary metadata round trip |
| Raw TX capture | Traffic Recording logs logical messages, not every raw outgoing CAN frame |
Choose a matching installation
Use the package matching your operating system and processor. Debian 12-compatible ARM64 and native ARM64 packages have different runtime requirements. Keep supplied runtime files together. See System Requirements and Installation and First Launch.
For troubleshooting, report the interface, operation and exact status. Keep the last valid Layout and avoid resetting preferences or replacing libraries as a first step.
