sail grib app on android phone

[Dougal]

Has anyone got this app to show currents and wave directions? Those won't show on my phone and support seems pretty hopeless
Or... what app are you using that shows this besides wind and weather?

I use Marine Wether | SailGrib 4.6 (not the one that has 'free' in the corner)

Yes, I have just tried SailGrib WR 2.1.0... I believe you need the paid version for it to utilise tides in the calculations.. It will either use 'generic' current atlases (which actually look quite accurate for a trip along the South Coast in the coming weeks) or will take uploaded Grib files for currents if available.

For now though - Using gribs (from the NOAA server within the app) and generic currents, it is working for me on a Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

What is also great is that you can set it to motor if the sailing speed would be below a certain threshold.

It looks good to me.

PS - You have chosen to include the tidal data for the areas you are interested in I hope..
