You have loaded a wind grib file and defined your route, all you have to do is choose the departure time and the boat type.
- Press the Action button
then the Weather Routing button (or open the menu and choose Routing) - Only if you are at sea check the option Start now at my position. The application will use GPS to move the starting waypoint and set the start time.
- Otherwise, choose the departure date and time. By default the time is in the local time zone of the phone. You can change the time to UTC in the Preferences menu.
- Choose the polar closest to your boat from the list of more than 400 polars we have created.
- Modify the 2 polar efficiency parameters if necessary. Polars are most often theoretical. For a clean cruise ship who is not too heavily loaded, we generally take around 80% of the theoretical polar.
- Leave all other settings at their default values.
- Press the Run button
