I read good things about Deckman and Expedition, both packages that will use GRIB forecasts to do predictive routing. They do require MS Windows and are relatively expensive. The key to their success is accurate polars and accurate Wx forecasts.

At this time there is no plan to develop such a routing module for MacENC.

There are many books written on Weather AND Sailing. Head over to Amazon.com and you will find them.
