Title: Undocumented "feature" AWESOME!
#1
So I know there has been a lot of b!tching about not being able to import files (GRIBs, routes, waypoints) via cable from a Mac/PC but with the inclusion of e-mail as an option, that for me has become moot. However I still found it cumbersome to download GRIBs and email them to myself for import. It worked, so I accepted it. However I just stumbled across something new to me. Direct import of GRIBs from Safari into iNavX!! I just happened to see what would happen if I clicked on a link to a GRIB. Then the most amazing thing happened (again at least to me), the GRIB "opened" in a new Safari page and then instead of gibberish, it changed to the "Open in iNavX" icon!! I clicked it and it imported! No more e-mailing GRIBs to myself, no more dealing with X-Traverse, I am self reliant again. THANK YOU for this "undocumented" feature. Please never fix it :-)

I tested directly on my iPhone4 and my iPad2 tethered to my iPhone, both were flawless!

Sites I tested
www.sailwx.com go to their "SmartGRIBs"
another site that will email directly which I like
www.sailflow.com (there is a get GRIB option)

Fair winds. Joel
