You can enable AI Polars to sent automatically to PredictWind along with your GPS tracking data. The best way to do this is by using the Satellite submenu for your satellite communications device, either the Iridium GO!, GO exec or Starlink.
This will combine your AI Polar data with your GPS tracking reports and send them to PredictWind to minimize the data transferred.
How much data it will transfer per hour depends on the Tracking Interval frequency you have set.
With the tracking set to:
- 15 minutes with AI polars enabled, your DataHub will transfer 0.163MB per 24 hours.
- 60 minutes (default) and AI polars enabled, it will use 0.148MB per 24 hours.
The same amount of polar-specific data is sent for both. The AI polars are then generated in the cloud and used for weather routing.
To set up and use your boat's AI Polars, please see this article: DataHub Automatic Polar Generation.
Iridium GO! and GO exec
If you have an Iridium GO! or GO exec we recommend the Unlimited Airtime plans to avoid bill shock when using the AI polar feature.
