With the brand new update 1.9 NavimetriX brings, among other new features, a high-level routing function : the overall routing. Read more …
• GEFS overall routing : Routing uses 30 weather scenarios of the GEFS model in addition to the control run. This makes it possible to visualize the reliability of the routings and the dispersion of wind and pressure along the route.. Resolution 0.5°, 30 forecast days.
• Real-time rain radar : Five radar sources are available : Météo-France, DWD (Germany), DPC (Italy), MET Norway (Scandinavia) and NOAA (UNITED STATES). Each source includes the nowcast (nowcasting). The timeline allows you to view past observations and future forecasts.
• Automatic reading of routes : play/pause button to start automatic scrolling of routes
• Interface PIXEL EXOCET : Pixel sur Mer interface support – EXOCET for NMEA data exchange 0183 with on-board instruments.
• Central and side handles for area selection on the map.
• Built-in image viewer for weather maps on all platforms.
• Linux : reducing the size of the AppImage (deleting debug files).
• Removed land mask artifacts along coastlines.
• Interaction in weather graphics : changing the display time directly in the graph.
