Thanks a lot. We need to go light, so we use Uridium phones. It is possible to mail and get online trough an Iridium GO, but it can take for ages sending a60-70k photo.
BUT Iridiun will releas a new GO in February with a much wider band!!!

Sv: South of 85° South problems
Hi Idefix, so sorry I missed your answer. Can't believe I never pushed the 3D button - but I thout that was for more urban stuff.
The 3D was a great view, but the wind is not generated south of 85° - but it woks fine with how I work. Thouf the adventege of seeing the wind is to predict what may come.
• No, with just satelite communication we never indulge in surfing the net. But I sit at home predicting weather for extreme expoeditions.
• I alway use my laptop / mac
• In Antarctica explorers (and others) use the correct timesove of the sector. This has msy adventages, ti avoid direct radioatipon and navigating on the shadow etc
• Windy follows the sectors until 85° South. From ther it seems to be New Zealand time all around no matter what sector.
• That may be du to the American base at the Geographical South Pole sticking to NZ time as their other bases are in the NZ sector and they fly in from there.!
Thanks so much for comming back to me. I use Windy a lot, and in extreme areas the compare section is really good. It is not alway the obvious platform is most acurate - especially in the high Polar seas towards the North Pole.
Best regards, LArs
(great neme BTW :-)

Why do Windy stopp at 85° South and North? I seem to remember it went all the way to the Pole some year ago?
Also, in Antarctica, north og 85° the location follows the correct Chilean timezone. South of 85° it jumps +18 hours.
Is this something we need to live with?

I have problem using Windy for polar expeditions when south of 85° south
• The map does not genetated for the 5 last degrees
• The algoritme does not corelate timezone and waypoint. on entering for example -87.000 -82.000 windy seem to show time 12 ahead of real
I can not recall that this has happend to me before.
How do I deal with it?
