How-to guides

Walkthroughs of the things people do with WX Navigator. For reference material, see the documentation.

• Route a coastal race. The whole loop, from an empty chart to a track you can send the crew.
• Use your ORC certificate. Finding it, and what to do when it is not there.
• Read the isochrone display. What the bands mean and how to spot a bad route.
• Use the route chart. Animate weather and currents, inspect the search, and time a line of your own.
• Check route stability. See whether modest wind or boat-speed changes move the strategic answer.
• Check a long Pacific route with the ensemble. Compare consensus and robust routes across all 50 ECMWF ensemble members.
• Scan departure times. Finding the start that wins.
• Share a route with your crew. Links, exports, and what each contains.
• Plan a race with your crew. A project: one course, shared boats, and a run history nothing can edit.
• Review a race after the finish. Freeze the plan, import the track, and check both execution and forecast.
• Race mode: route from here. Re-routing the rest of the course from on board, over a weak link.
