How do I change the weather data display?

Change the weather data display in Navimetrix:

  1. Open the Settings menu: tap the gear icon in the top right corner.
  2. Go to the “Forecast display” section: you will see four blocks, each corresponding to a type of weather data:
    • Wind
    • Pressure
    • Currents
    • Waves
  3. Customize the Wind display:
    • Barbs: classic display with arrows and small barbs indicating strength.
    • Particles: small animated particles representing the flow. Very effective for visualizing the wind, but be careful of battery consumption.
    • Color map style: Gradient, continuous color variation, or Iso areas, according to wind intensity.
    • Land mask: allows you to easily distinguish land areas.
    • Transparency: adjust the visibility of the colored background.
    • Step between iso zones: adjust the fineness of the wind ranges displayed.
    • Iso areas step: display by ranges (e.g., 5-10 knots, 10-15 knots).
  4. Customize the pressure display:
    • Color map style: Gradient, continuous pressure visualization, or Iso areas (isobars): pressure lines spaced at an interval that you can adjust.
    • Isobar step: spacing of isobars in hectoPascals.
  5. Customize Currents display:
    • Classic arrows: direction and strength of currents.
    • Animated particles: small animated particles representing the flow. Very effective for visualizing large-scale currents, but be careful of battery drain.
    • Color map style: Gradient, continuous current values visualization, or Iso areas (isobars): current values spaced at an interval that you can adjust in knots.
  6. Customize Waves display:
    • Waves are always represented by arrows indicating the direction.
    • Color gradient: continuous visualization of wave height.
    • Iso areas: wave height spaced at intervals that you can adjust.

Tip: use Particles display mode or Iso areas for better reading of large-scale conditions. For sea navigation, use Barbs and Isobars, which are more accurate and less resource-intensive.
