GRIP resolution from MaxSea

[happypig]

Considering to purchase the MaxSea for navigation and planning.

Does anybody have the idea about the resolutioin of the weather information provided by MaxSea?
1 degree x 1 degree?
or higher? lower?

Does the resolution depends on area? Is the weather resolution of Europe and North America better than Asia?

Thanks in advance!

You may also want to take a look at this (unless you are somehow restricted to MaxSea): http://www.fugawi.com/web/

The software (look under products at Marine ENC) also supports GRIB data from NOAA (or perhaps elsewhere as well).

Do you mean GRIB resolution? I don't believe the data varies all that much from brand to brand.... as most of it is based on the same government supplied data.

Sorry, guys. It's "GRIB"!

I think the weather information is not just overlay on the e-Chart, but for weather routing calculation purpose as well.

Does there any commercial source provide GRIB in more deail resolution? Like 10KMx10KM, but not by interpolation.

Thanks again.
