AvNav WebApp User Doc
The web app can be started via the link http://avnav.avnav.de or
http://avnav.local if you are connected to the Wifi provided by the
raspberry pi. For some detailled hints on how to reach your AvNav server
see the image description.
On Android calling the startpage is
directly handled by the app.
As an alternate option you could also install a bonjour browser on your
mobile device - this way you can connect without any typing of urls.
Apps for that case:
- IOS:
- Android:
The AvNav web app consists of several pages that can be entered either
directly from the main page or via some sub pages.
After opening the App you will normally see the mainpage
with the list of available charts. Since 20240616 you can enable with Settings->Map->"start with last map"
to directly open the navigation page with the
last used chart. If the chart is not (yet) available (e.g. provided by a
plugin that did not complete the startup) it can take some time until the
chart can be displayed. In this case AvNav will wait for the chart to
appear and show a dialog informing you about this situation.
