PredictWind customers with a Standard or Professional subscription can set up a customized GPS tracking web page for your boat. Your friends and family can access this web page and do not need a PredictWind account. The web page can be viewed in a web browser or embed in your blog or website.

We recommend a PredictWind DataHub for automatic hourly updates to your GPS tracking web page and publishing the TWS/TWD from your boat's instruments. The DataHub can connect to any satellite or cellular communication device including Starlink to send your position reports. Position reports are stored on the DataHub if communications are interrupted. This is important for safety and convenience, as friends can check your track and see your boat's speed and heading.

GPS Tracking is also available with the following devices:

The PredictWind Tracker App also now offers an economical GPS tracking solution with no extra cost or hardware, so you can get started immediately before buying a purpose-designed, precision GPS hardware device such as a DataHub or Iridium GO!

Your tracking information can also be shared with NoForeignLand. Please contact support@predictwind.com for more information.

If you would like a customized tracking page for your boat, please click on the device type above or let us know the following:

  1. Your PredictWind Forecast Account login email address - you must have purchased the PredictWind Standard or Professional package.

  2. Your Boats name.
