G'day all!

This is a preliminary announcement.

A built-in GRIB download service is now available in PolarView for MacOS (version 0.7.79). The service is undergoing testing and the feature is not available for other platforms at this time (but will be in a near future based on user feedback).

The service provides data based on NOAA NCEP forecasts in GFS and NWW3 models.

To use download service, open Grib Manager, select "Download" pane, specify area boundaries and press "Download" button.

Note, that "Select" feature (selecting area graphically on chart) is not yet active.

As always, download PolarView at http://www.polarnavy.com/main/download

Update: a few users seemed to have trouble with manual boundary selection. 80W is less than 60W, though I am just as guilty of mixing it up occasionally

In any case, to make life easier, graphic selection of GRIB boundary to download is now available. Just press on "select" button, then click on the chart to start a boundary, drag, click again - and the area is selected.

Hopefully that helps
