Weather Routing

PredictWind pioneered weather routing for cruising boats making it simple and accessible for everyone. The all new algorithm is now available on the Offshore App allowing you to route with your own boat characteristics and your way of sailing. The Weather Routing feature not only provides all the forecast data for your offshore passage, but conveniently delivers it within a manageable file size. The route is calculated on the PredictWind servers using the highest resolution data available for all forecasts. The route return file is a fraction of the size of a GRIB file with easy transfer over low bandwidth connections.

GPS Tracking

Trusted by the leading cruising rallies around the world, GPS tracking is an essential service for cruising boats. See where your friends or other rally participants are while on passage. The Offshore App displays on the map the location of you and others, all via satellite or SSB in a very small file size. GPS tracking updates can be done automatically with the Iridium GO!, YB3i, Inreach or manually updated using the Offshore App.
