Enhance weather visibility for sailors, farmers, sports organisers, and outdoor enthusiasts by sharing your local weather data! Your contributions help improve everyone's visibility. Here’s how you can get involved.
🌐 Option 1: Become a DataHub Observation Station
Set up a PredictWind DataHub on your boat to:
Broadcast your NMEA2000 instrument data (wind, GPS, depth, AIS) via onboard Wi‑Fi and Ethernet.
Log and share real-time weather and instrument readings to your GPS Tracking page so friends and family can see your travels.
Share your weather data with fellow mariners to improve safety at sea.
Enjoy additional benefits including Anchor Alerts, AI polars, and Over the Horizon AIS.
How to set up:
Install the DataHub, connect it to your NMEA‑2000 network and internet (Wi‑Fi, Ethernet, or cellular)
Enable Tracking.
Set up your GPS Tracking page and other DataHub apps: DataHub Help Collection.
☀️ Option 2: Share Data via Davis Weather Station Integration
Already own a Davis weather station 6242 Wireless Vantage Vue with touchscreen?
Enable integration in your Davis console or WeatherLink account
When you log into your WeatherLink account, share the summary page with support@predictwind.com
It should look similar to this.
Include your Latitude, Longitude and the elevation of your station.
No extra hardware needed; just activate the integration in your home or farm station
