New PredictWind app for gribviewing/route planning

snelem — Sun, 05 Sep 2021 18:12:19 GMT

PredictWind has launched a new app for PC/Mac and iPad/iPhone(available in December) that combines grib downloading, grib viewing, route & departure planning. The free app is targeted especially at the offshore user and can also be used in combination with Satphone and SSB data download. http://www.predictwind.com/grib-files/

It looks like the IridiumGO plus plan is an unlimited data package and I have certainly used a very similar package for intensive PredictWind forecasting.

I got an email announcing its release yesterday, as I was already a user of the previous release, which didn 't have an integrated GRIB viewer. It 's in the Apple app store for free download. At first glance, this release appears to be a huge improvement.
