Description

Weather4D Routing & Navigation integrates weather forecasting, routing calculations, navigation with digitized raster charts, instruments and data sharing to maximize your boating experience.
Navigation
See SOG, COG, VMC, HDG, TWS, AWS, ETAs, ETWs, AIS data and more in real time along with weather and routing information with a wifi connection to a transponder.
Store your charts on your device for offshore/offline navigations.
Set the screen to night mode after sunset to better see what’s happening outside during your watch.
Set alarms to alert about excessive XTE, course deviations, surrounding boats, excessive wind speed and low depth.
Take advantage of the iPad/iPhone built in compass, pressure and acceleration sensors.
Connect bluetooth devices like wireless anemometers and wind vanes.
Share AIS and boat sensors data like wind, current, pressure, air and sea temperature within the Weather4D users community.
Activate Man Overboard safety feature to estimate drift and thus rescue location based on current and wind.
Weather
View combined weather data displayed in 3D HD layers animated automatically or manually by sliding a finger on the screen.
Use GFS model to get started. In addition, over 35 weather and oceanographic models are available with a yearly subscription (in-app purchase).
Create your own geographical zones, select the models you need and download only the characteristics that matter to you: data type, resolution, periodicity, file size, etc. GRIB files can be downloaded anywhere through a regular or satellite internet connection.
Split the screen (iPad only) to combine and/or compare: navigation and weather, weather and waves or currents, two weather models…
Routing
Routing calculation optimizes for safety, comfort and performance when sailing, motoring, or mixing the two.
Create a route and calculate its associated routings in function of departure dates/times, forecasts (weather, wave and current), minimum sailing speed, motoring speed, boat polar, maximum wind and minimum distance to the coast.
Visualize sail configurations based on your routings and your own set of sails.
Save waypoints, locations, simulate routes, combine them with GRIB forecast models.
Restart a routing calculation at anytime from the actual boat position.

Weather4D Routing & Navigation Reviews

Lots of features, terrible UX

qwertme on

Canada

I’ve been using this app for a couple of years, the features are great but clearly the developer spend nothing on trying to make am intuitive interface. Here are some of the issues. - Figuring out routing errors can only be done by trial and error. - Want to know how fresh the model you are looking at is? Good luck - No difference UI difference between successfully downloading a model and not being able to download it because the internet connection is down. - The menu is a labyrinth of poorly documented, absolutely not self-explanatory options. 5 stars for the features 0 stars for how they are presented to the user

La meilleure application de routage

Utilisée depuis 1 an et demi en tour du monde. Bravo au développeur !

Great App

Phil-Fulub on

Canada

Application très utile pour la navigation côtière et hauturière. Par contre il manque encore quelques fonctionnalités pour devenir un incontournable. Parmi celles-ci, sauvegarde des GRIB des run précédents pour comparer la fiabilité à 48 et 96 heures, accès au GRIB GFS pour la couche 500mb et identification clair de l'isoplète 5640m, calque avec la base de donnée Active Captain... Mais ce qui est le plus appréciable, est la qualité du support technique. Les réponses sont rapides et au point. Utilisez les groupes Weather4D sur Facebook pour encore plus d’interaction.

Most powerful navigation program and excellent support

Rum Hart on

Canada

This program is unbelieveble powerful, to enjoy all of it you will need to read their help book, comes for free and is readble in ibooks with lots of short educational videos in it. I bought it as soon as it came out and used it extensively in the US and mainly in Canada. The charts are bought via geogarage and those folks are very helpful as are the weather4d guys. I had a problem on Saturday to get the additional weather program renewed and they answered within 2 hs. You have to look at geogarage to see which countries are covered and at what price, but those charts are excellent and for one year subscription updated any time. Of course downloadble so you need no internet while cruising.

Support exceptionnel

J'ai fait appel au support pour un problème technique dont j'étais responsable. La réponse a été immédiate et d'une qualité exceptionnelle. Je recommande absolument cette application.
