Included for FREE, to showcase this incredible new feature, are 12 hour Weather Forecast overlays for Wind Speed/Direction, Temperature and Precipitation in low resolution (1.0 degree).
The Theyr Premium subscription delivers 6 day weather and ocean forecasts using the NOAA Global Forecast System (GFS) 0.5 and 1.0 resolution data, High resolution NMM 0.1 and 0.045 degree data for North America, 0.04 degree West Europe and 0.08 degree Southern Hemisphere data.

“While the weather overlays are very useful for all outdoor GPS users, our marine and aviation users are especially excited about this feature to accompany their navigational needs.”, says Scott Northmore, CEO at MuskokaTech, “Outdoor activities are directly affected by weather, so the inclusion of Weather information is a great benefit for real-time visualization for route planning purposes.”
