The GPS tracking is available if you have purchased and activated your YB3i device on the PredictWind Satellite Portal. You must also have a PredictWind Forecast account on any PredictWind Subscription level (Free, Basic, Standard or Pro). Set up a PredictWind Forecast account here.
During the YB3i activation process, you will be asked for your boat name and PredictWind forecast account email address. Once the activation is complete, a personalised GPS tracking page will be automatically created for you.
