QGC map does not show ROV icon and wake

The BROV2 vehicle icon was successfully displayed in Tokyo when the latitude and longitude were picked up from googlemap etc. and entered directly.

I spoke with the software team about this, and it’s possible it requires a value between -180 to 180, in which case the equivalent longitude would be 139.7611999512 - does that work?

I’ve raised an issue to confirm (and potentially fix) this issue in the BlueOS DVL package. The Companion software is no longer being developed or maintained, so if the issue is confirmed it will only be fixed for BlueOS.

By the way, to ensure that the result of “set new origin” is reflected, the battery must be removed and inserted each time.

Is there a smarter way to reflect this?

*I have also tried restarting from the companion software, but it is unstable, sometimes succeeding, sometimes not…

ArduPilot firmwares currently only allows setting the origin once (which I’ve raised an issue about here). Until that gets changed, the least painful solution is restarting the autopilot, which in Companion can be handled by

1. going to the web terminal,
2. accessing mavproxy with

   screen -r mavproxy
   

3. running the reboot command
