iPolar 2.0 arrives with several improvements, including one expected from the beginning : the possibility of exporting fleeces by email. Done, and moreover the export of fleeces (single or multi-sail) is systematically done in 3 file formats : CSV, TXT and POL. Enough to reuse the fleeces with any application on Mac, PC or other mobile devices.
The dream !
In addition to the "Open in… " which allows you to export a fleece directly to another application (Weather4D PRO, iRegatta, aso.), a tap on the icon ✉︎ Allows you to send the fleece by email, or the fleeces for each sail configuration if it is a set of combined sails, formats .CSV, .Txt and .pol. These are three formats that are most commonly used by routing applications.
Polars are now locked by default, to avoid unfortunate changes. You need to tap on "Edit" to be able to unlock a fleece and thus access the settings.
New parameterization functions :
- Possibility to set the maximum wind speed for spinnaker use.
- Cruising Fleeces (Reduced crew weight / Reduced righting torque) by disabling the Racing option.
The display now shows the summed graphs, and no longer separated, and the table shows the colours assigned to each sail, the same colors that will be found in the routing in Weather4D PRO.
Weather4D and 4D PRO 1.4.2 are now optimized for iOS 8. After a serious "hiccup" at the launch, due to an undocumented change from Apple that forced the developer to a hasty withdrawal, fortunately quickly forgotten, the new version is optimized for iPhone 6 and 6+ and its iOS-friendly interface 8.
By the way, Weather4D PRO has just been awarded a great satisfaction of Artemis Racing :
Thanks Olivier
