Weather - Routing - Navigation

Weather - Routing - Navigation is a complete navigation and weather toolbox for sailors and powerboaters that combines forecasts, tides, routing, charts and onboard instrumentation into a single app that helps you plan departures and monitor performance underway.

Key Features

Comprehensive weather tools including GRIB weather files, isobaric maps, satellite imagery and tidal height and current predictions to support passage planning and decision making.

Advanced routing with over 400 polars or custom polar creation to optimise tracks for speed, comfort or fuel efficiency, part of the Weather - Routing - Navigation core toolset.

Chart support with access to official raster charts and the ability to import charts from compatible boating apps for detailed coastal navigation.

Integrated AIS and NMEA streams with alarms, onboard instrument logging and performance tracking so you can monitor your boat in real time.

Satellite-friendly offshore weather downloads and compact data transfers to reduce costs when using satellite communicators.

Advantages

Weather - Routing - Navigation consolidates forecasts, charts and instruments into a single interface, simplifying voyage planning and reducing clutter on deck.

Cost-effective alternative to traditional marine software suites with many features available at a lower overall cost.

Flexible routing options and extensive polar libraries let you fine-tune routes for different priorities such as speed or fuel consumption.

Real-time integration of AIS and NMEA data improves situational awareness and supports post-voyage performance analysis.

Disadvantages

High-quality raster charts may require a paid subscription or separate licensing depending on coverage and provider.

Offshore satellite weather features require a compatible satellite communicator and can incur data charges.

Advanced routing, polars and NMEA/AIS setup assume some knowledge of sailing performance and onboard electronics, which may be a learning curve for beginners.
