GPS boat position
-
@korina I would put it in the top 3 of your overall priorities 🙂 It's a must-have option not only for sailors, but low-altitude VFR piltos as well
-
Do you have any updates about adding real-time GPS position? You know, every flyer and every boater would like to have a poor-mans weather radar as backup. So, even if a weather radar data is delayed and generally not very accurate it's still better than nothing.

@igor-320 Hi, we are currently working on features with higher priority. We will consider GPS position in the future.
-
@korina Dear Korina, do you have any updates for location service implementation? 🙂
-
@igor-320 Hello, currently there are no updates. If there is an intention to develop this feature, we will inform you.
-
@korina still looking forward for real-time GPS position. This feature is really needed for low-altitude pilots, especially for those who fly unsophisticated airplanes like ultralights with very basic equipment. Boaters will appreciate it too :)

Hi! I am a captain of a merchant cargo vessel and sailing almost in the middle of pacific ocean, however when i click "find my location" it always shows my position at some Mexico city and i have to type manually my position to get forecast. I think this real-time GPS issue should be implemented soon!
Thanks! -

Hi Captain
Have you set your location using GPS ?
And have you enabled your device to provide your GPS position to Windy?
It works for me but of course it depends on the device.
By the way how do you get Windy at sea? I guess you have a broadband connection by satellite. Could you tell us more about your equipment and devices. -

Hi There and thank you very much for your response!
Yes all GPS settings as you described, however mostly need to enter manually.
That's correct we have broadband satellite connection for business and crew internet. Despite the fact we receive detailed report from professional companies i like to have it for myself to use it with premium benefits for more frequent data.
I use it with my mobile or on our desktop. Even use while not sailing at all.!
