Wind & Sea HR vs Weather4D Routing Usage & Stats

Wind & Sea HR is the APP that allows you to always have the famous LAMMA weather forecasts for sea and wind with the High Resolution 3 km model (Model WW3 3km - WRF ECMWF 3km). The sea area under consideration has its center in the island of Giraglia and the four adjacent sectors. This APP is ideal for those who want to race or just navigate these waters. The point of force is its ease of use and consultation with accurate and detailed maps, but at the same time very intuitive, thanks to the choice of the color scale made by the LaMMA consortium. Available models: - Wind at 10m - Wind Gust - Wave Height - Wave Period - Swell Height - Swell Period - Precipitation and Cloud Cover - Currents - Sea Temperature (weekly forecast) Available seas: - Ligurian Sea and Northern Tyrrhenian Sea - Northern Corsica - Tuscan Archipelago - French Riviera - Gulf of Genoa Plus: - Save the forecasts to display the maps even in case of lack of signal. The saved maps can be used only for the period of validity of the forecast and only if there is no signal. - Maps animation to control evolution of forecasts of next days. - Pinch to zoom the maps to see the details of available zones. - On startup, displays the map at the current time. - Legend of used scale for sea state, wind, rainfall and cloud cover. - Full screen mode. - Share maps on Facebook, Twitter or by email, save maps to the Camera Roll. Available in english, italian, french, german, spanish. Help for first three starts. The forecast are updated twice a day. FOR ANY PROBLEM DON'T HESITATE TO WRITE TO EMAIL ADDRESS OF REFERENCE

Weather4D Routing

Weather4D Routing is an outstanding meteorological and routing application based on weather and ocean data in GRIB format as well as the speed characteristics of the sailing boat (polar) and its minimum speed when operated with its engine. It benefits from an interface derived from the “Routing & Navigation” version. Weather GFS model is provided by default. In addition, over 35 weather and oceanographic models are available with a yearly subscription (in-app purchase). Queries and downloads are fully customizable. The application makes it possible to create your own geographical zones and to select the characteristics of the GRIB files to download: choice of data, resolution, periodicity, file size, etc. GRIB files can be downloaded wherever you are from our servers through a regular or satellite internet connection. Weather4D Routing displays the combined data as layered layers. All the data of a selected model is displayed by an animation in continuous time scrolling or in manual scrolling on the map. The weather forecast is displayed in one or two windows (iPad only), offering several display combinations of the same area: navigation and weather, weather and waves or currents, comparison of different models. The two windows can be disassociated for displaying the same area at different scales. Routing Weather4D Routing makes it possible to optimize sailing or engine, or mixed sail-engine routes. From a theoretical route, a routing algorithm will take into account wind force and wave height constraints. When sailing, the boat polar combined with wind and current forecasts will be used to optimize performance, comfort and safety. Several routes can be displayed to compare the outcome of different options: different forecast patterns, departure dates and times, selected constraint values. The routing can be restarted at any moment during navigation from the actual position of the boat.
