There seems to be a problem with the GFS data, I'm getting no wind data using xyGrib. I do get wave data though

Seems OK from saildocs, I've some nodered which automatically sends an email 4 times a day and saves the gribs to dropbox, just ran it manually >
"send GFS:60N,21N,38W,6E|0.5,0.5|0,3,6..168|WIND,PRESS,APCP,TCDC,HTSGW,WVPER,HGT500,WVDIR,GUST,CAPE"

Yes, didn't work on android, got connection failed. But the gribs seem OK, worked with saildocs.

Same problem here too.

I was recommended to join the OpenCPN Android Forum however, that too doesn't seem to work - have been waiting for 12 hrs+ for a 'confirmation' email to allow me to log in.

FYI I'm using the latest release of the paid for app from the google play store - so it should be fine. As noted by others, grib requests via sailmail on my mac version all working fine.

xyGrib recgonise there is a problem... Problem for update GFS
My guess is that it flows across into however O on Android gets its GFS data

I've registered the issue with the OpenCPN for Android Forum - I'll let you know if there's a fix.

This reply was posted in the OpenGRIBs forum yesterday....
"NOAA has been experiencing serious server problems during the last week including over the weekend.
This almost totally disabled the ability to download GFS and NAM models from the NOMADS distribution center
They are not yet fully back online and I expect that there will be problems for the next few days"

I understand problem fixed for GFS. NAM will take a little longer.
