I like the app in that the files are small and can be downloaded with intermittent cell signal as we are traveling along the Southeast US coast. The usage is not always intuitive so I practice everyday so I do not forget how to look at different areas and adjust parameters. However, this is a valuable tool and I highly recommend it.

Clunky user interface. Sonetimes you hit phone back button, sometimes the app screen has a back button, sometimes the app has a done button to return to chart view. Chart detail poor for waterways, difficult to find you destination unless you use a separate chart plotter to get coordinates first then manually enter it. Very inconvenient.

App is packed with a lot of usefull things. Too bad they don t work for me. Most of the prediction files do not download, saying that my user and password are incorrect. The ones that get downloaded are not displayed on the map. The map zooms out to world view everytime i go to some menu. Used help. Doesn t seem i do sonething wrong or got the settings wrong. But problems still persist

I have used the Professional version of PW's software for the last two years and have found the weather routing and departure planning algorithms to be quite helpful when taking ocean currents into account (especially in the eastern Pacific). The underlying wind models are generally very helpful offshore. GRIB files are easy to download and use through IridiumGO email. I have also taken advantage of the tracking page and have received exceptional customer service when needed.

Previous version had land maps in full topographic color. New version removed all multicolor, leaving land surfaces looking like water due to "new downgraded" all blue color. Looks like land users are out of luck as multicolor terrain referencing is dead. I just uninstalled my Offshore version. Still no topo color for land masses. Hey, why fix something that's broken when leaving land all blue is fine for some?

This is one app that works offshore for cruising boats..or powerboats. Gives good weather projections..via cell or sms device like InReach. We do not go offshore without it. It takes a bit if understanding of weather charts..but the geaogicsxrealky assist in this process. By the way..weather takes understanding and learning about ..this app is the best tool to help visual and route and passage plan. They have excellent models..
