Online Mode

The Njord Player App supports two modes: bundled mode and online mode. The window title bar indicates which mode you are currently using.

Bundled Mode

Bundled mode is the default mode. Switch back to Bundled Mode from Online Mode by selecting Use bundled version from the Njord Player menu.

  • Works offline (after an initial start with internet connection to load your boat and license information)
  • Application features are tied to the Njord Player version you downloaded and not automatically upgraded
  • Upgrade Njord Player by downloading the latest version from https://www.sailnjord.com/help/player-changelog/

Online Mode

Switch to Online Mode by selecting Use online version from the Njord Player menu.

  • Faster access to new app functionality and bug fixes
  • Upgrades automatically (may need to press Ctrl/Cmd-R to reload)
  • Is it still advisable to use the latest version from https://www.sailnjord.com/help/player-changelog/ to ensure best compatibility

We may ask you to switch to online mode when you encounter problems and we solve those for you with a bug fix, online mode is a way for you to before the next Njord Player App version is released. You may switch back to bundled mode once the next Njord Player App version has been released.
