Hello,
I am pleased to announce the availability of Pro verion of Weather4D.
A summary of new features:
- Prediction passage of the Iridium satellites constellation.
I added in Weather4D Pro the display of the Iridium constellation on the globe in 3D and I implemented a function for predict passage of satellites and a search function for find an appointment and retrieve his GRIB files in conditions of optimum reception.
A search button calculates a date based on criteria defined in the "Options prediction" of "Settings". Two criteria are available:
- Minimum elevation (angle mini above the horizon)
- Minimum time range (minimum time of exposure for the elevation choose)
- The import of GRIB file:
The application accepts files Grib type 1 and recognizes the .rgb file and grb.gz,. Grb.bz2 for compressed versions. From mail, Safari or any other applications using the mechanism "Open In" you can import files in GRIB Weather4D Pro. Imported files are stored in a folder reserved for them.
- Historical of GRIB files:
So far, the refresh of weather data from an zone overwrite old data. Now the application maintains a history for each zone. The history files are stored in a folder that you can view at your leisure.
- Personal Folder File GRIB:
You can always make a copy of a file Grib from an zone to a personal folder (My GRIB) and store them in a tree. You can also create folders and subfolders to organize your GRIB.
- Copy / Paste GRIB file:
Through this mechanism you copy files between folders (Historical, File Import and in "My Gribs").
- Share your files GRIB:
Grib files can be sent by attachment in an email or exported to a compatible application (iNavX, File Connect etc ...) via a menu "Open In"
- SailDocs request by Mail:
To use Weather4D Pro in a satellite communication or BLU environment you can create a SailDocs request from a zone. The contents of the mail is automatically generated based on settings of the zone. Thereafter you choose your email client. Choose from: Mail, and XGate AxcessPoint...
- Importing KML file type to see the movement of the vessel during weather forecasts.
These files can be created by any other navigation applications like iNavX.
Back on land after 14 days of sailing between Las Palmas and St. Lucia, here's an article that summarizes our use of AxcessPoint during our crossing of the Atlantic:
