We are pleased to announce a major update to our marine weather forecast visualization in the i-Boating app. The latest version support color shading marine weather forecasts into multiple zones based on safe /comfortable values customizable under settings. For e.g. based on comfortable wave height setting, the map is color coded into multiple zones: Safe zone: Transparent -> Green Caution zone: Yellow Danger Zone: Red I have included below a screenshot where safe wave height is set to 3ft. Note how the red zone is much bigger. When I change it to 4.5 ft, the red zone shrinks. As always the update is immediately available on Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android and Linux/Raspberry Pi (selective partners).
