How does the program actually look on your screen?
You can find four sample screenshots here.
Main functions:
Cruising-Edition
Weather: Weather (Thunderstorms, rain, fog etc.) is displayed
with coloured symbols for the first 72h of the forecast period.
Route Weather: Numerous courses can be defined and saved with arbitrary way points.
GRIBView 2 calculates the weatherforecast along a user-defined route.
It is possible to save the chosen route by name and select it
again when needed.
Time Zone Setting:
By a user-defined off-set the universal time can be switched to local time.
Racing-Edition
For use of the RACING-Edition a special key code has to be ordered.
With this key code additional functions are enabled and set free for use
(otherwise those functions are marked grey and not active).
Measuring Points: Measuring points can be defined anywhere on the map.
The measurement covers time series of the wind. Defining a new measuring point opens
a new window, where date, time, wind direction, wind speed, and gusts are listed.
Start time and length of the time series can be pre-defined.
The displayed parameters can be selected individually.
Race Planning: "up-and-down-wind"- Wizard

(coordinates displayed). Now starting point e.g. bottom mark / start ship can be set, next the
reference point for finish / top mark ist defined ? direction and distance are displayed continously.
After the finish point has been defined, both points are marked: start point with a green pin and
