Are these instructions still valid?

I immediately get "Disconnected" in the console every time I try with the login information provided in the instructions. My area is supposed to have coverage (near SE Lysekil/Smögen)

Provide the lat/lon you are using. Working fine for me using a lat/lon near San Francisco, CA - 37*49.66'N, 122*25.69'W

58°15.95'N 11°26.28'E

It has coverage according to http://vtslite.siitech.com/vtslite/AView.aspx
looking at SE-Lysekil-Smogen

Yes that Location is working fine for me with iNavX. Seeing over 90 AIS targets at the moment...

The condition shown in the log in your screenshot occurs if iNavX attempts to reconnect to the Siitech server within about a minute of disconnecting. So wait a minute then make sure you have correctly entered in the Siitech "Account" info as described in the iNavX Guide.

You should see "CONNECTING", "CONNECTED" "LOGIN" then the AIS NMEA Data (!AIVDM sentences) IF there are any AIS targets within 30NM of your device or a selected waypoint.

Ok it just works now. Strange, I tried several times before, and it was long time between some of the tries. Ah well.
