Weather4D with Mac M1

We've been talking about it since 2020 in the Facebook group of Weather4D users, the messaging app Weather4D Routing & Navigation (¹) now works on ARM-based Mac : Mac M1 and later, from the system macOS 11.x ("Big Sur" and following). All you need to do is connect the Mac to a GPS receiver or a NMEA gateway via Wi-Fi to receive the position and navigation data from the instruments..

Some pictures are better than a long speech, judge by yourself :

The large screen display (here a 27" 4K) can be particularly comfortable for those who wish to install a Mac Mini at the chart table of their own boat. Mouse control is perfect, the excellent fluidity and resolution of the screens offers an exceptional display of the raster cartography.

From macOS "Big Sur", compatible iOS apps with macOS are listed in the AppStore by visiting your account. Warning : Some apps marked "Not validated for macOS" mean they can't be adapted to Mac screen sizes. They can be used but in a window in iPad or iPhone formats depending on the case.

How to do ?

Check that the email address on your account is the one used for the iPad/iPhone purchase. Otherwise, edit it in your Mac AppStore account.

In Mac AppStore app, iOS compatible apps

That evolution, Apple hardware and software, finally allows you to benefit a multi-platform navigation application that meets all user needs. It should be noted that a single license of the application allows you to use up to 5 devices, Mac Included. This also applies to the weather pass (In-app purchase) and cartography at Geogarage.
