  The files are very small and take 1 to 2 seconds to download in WiFi or 4G
The chart is displayed.
- If the chart is in Mercator projection, we can display it on the main SailGrib WR map.
  The chart must then be synchronized.
  As the message indicates, you must match the date and time of validity to the “Valid Date” displayed in the chart inset. The application tries to propose the right date and time but the maps being produced by hand, they are not always available at the same times… Note that the times are always in UTC.
- If the chart is not in Mercator projection, it is simply displayed here.
Press the Open button. The map opens on the application’s main map.
