Hi Marie,

Thank you for making this clear.

My question then is how companies like Predict Wind manage to do this?

We usually download Grib files through a satellite request sent to 'query@saildocs.com'.
They send the data back in package file which we then display in ZY Grib or similar.

Is there no way we can have a Windy Platform to display grib data we retrieve?

I am thinking that Windy must be receiving data to generate the display we are seeing - right - so if windy created the app, and steered us to the data request source /s then we effectively could have an off shore windy app?

Thank you for the amazing Windy platform

Kind regards

Yes -I am with Emeraldsea here - would love to be able to have a software program as a sailor at sea where I can send and receive a small file to generate something similar to what we see when connected to the internet. At the moment we send a 'request' to saildocs.com and they 'bounce back' an email with a small grib file we open for wind arrows and other information. I would LOVE to see a windyty file displaying when we are at sea far from any internet.
At the moment we use windyty as one of our tools for departure but after that we have to switch over to saildocs.
Keep up the good work
Seriously impressed with you guys
