Step 1: Download the Apps

Please download and install the Iridium GO! App on your device and PredictWind Offshore App on all your devices, including laptops, phones and tablets.

Iridium GO! App - for Voice Calls / SMS text messaging/ SOS

Use the Iridium GO! App on your mobile devices (iPhone/iPad or Android) to voice call, send/receive SMS messages, set up SOS and control the features of the Iridium GO! unit. Your mobile device becomes the handset and connects via Wi-Fi to the Iridium GO! unit.

Open your mobile or device's camera and scan the QR code below to download the iOS or Android Iridium GO! App. Alternatively, open the links below or search the App Store or Play Store for "Iridium Go".

Offshore App - PredictWind Weather Data

The PredictWind Offshore App is available for iOS, Android, Mac & PC. This App downloads weather GRIB files, weather routing, departure planning and has all the great PredictWind features. It connects directly to the Iridium GO! for easy direct downloads. The PredictWind App uses too much data; it is unsuitable for Iridium GO use! The PredictWind Offshore App compresses all weather data, so it is the best and only cost-effective way to download weather data.

Open your mobile or device's camera and scan the QR code below to download the iOS or Android PredictWind Offshore Weather App.
