STORY:
I have had iNavX on my iPhone 2G since early 2008 but since it does not have GPS and I have not found iNavX friendly for dead reckoning it has seen little use except for the trial account w/ x-traverse to check out GRIB Wx. The early implementation of iNavX GRIB left me feeling frustrated so I went back to my windows GRIB programs, let x-traverse account expire and have forgotten the little I learned.
p.s. My wife is a captain 1600T Ocean and uses her iPhone 3G w/ iNavX constantly and shows/amazes the masses but is not using GRIB Wx. I want to get her iNavX doing all it can for her. I will be sitting on sidelines until upgrading to a GPS enabled version unless I get my 2G talking to Coastal Explorer some day.
(Thanks for the very helpful CE article on the web site.)
QUESTIONS:
(a) GRIB: What is the size (days) and resolution(time and degs) of the GRIB dataset and how does one scroll fwd/back in time within the iNavX interface?
(b) Chart Updates: How does one check (within iNavX) to see if charts that have been downloaded and are resident on the iPhone are the current version?
