Description

AP2 terminates abruptly ie crashes everytime I load a WP file while connected to the APM. My workaround for this is:

  1. Connect the AP2 and remove, delete the loaded WPs in the APM and set / save.
  2. Disconnect the AP2 (at this point the WP screen is empty except maybe for the home item).
  3. Load the WP and then connect the AP2
  4. Save the WP

Thanks! great software!

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash with an existing WP file while the AP2 is connected on the reported MacOSX Mavericks setup, then compare it with the listed disconnect-and-reconnect workaround. Trace the waypoint loading and AP2 connection flow; done means an existing WP loads and can be saved without AP2 Planner terminating.
