PredictWind Offshore App
The PredictWind Offshore App is for iOS, Android, Mac & PC. This App downloads GRIB files, weather routing, departure planning and all the great PredictWind features. It connects directly to the Iridium GO! exec for fast and easy direct downloads . The PredictWind App uses too much data, and is not suitable for use on the Iridium GO! exec. The PredictWind Offshore App compresses all weather data, so it is by far the most efficient way to download data.

You do NOT need to enable an 'all open' profile to use the Offshore App.
DO NOT enable an ADMIN PIN when setting up the Iridium GO! exec. If you have the admin pin enabled, the Offshore App will not be able to download GRIB files.
