#HOW TO USE MAC LAPTOP WITH IRIDIUM GO PC#

#HOW TO USE MAC LAPTOP WITH IRIDIUM GO HOW TO#
Please see video on how to use the Offshore App. To download GRIB files, weather routing etc using a PC / Mac computer you need to use the PredictWind Offshore App which you can download from here. So there is no need to manually restart the connection. The Offshore App is designed for boats heading offshore with a need to download forecast GRIB files on an Iridium Go. If there are any dropouts in the data connection the data rate will be slower due to the reconnect time.Īny dropouts in the connection are handled by the PredictWind "Smart Connect". Although you may have 5 bars of signal strength at the start of the connection (displayed in the Offshore App) this signal strength will drop below 5 bars, if there are any obstructions blocking the sky/horizon as each Iridium satellite passes overhead every 15 minutes. If the signal strength is 5 bars, you can expect to download data at the rate of 12-18 Kbytes/min.
We recommend you use the PredictWind Weather Routing to get this detailed information. The data speed of the Iridium GO! makes it impractical to get the large (above 200KB) GRIB files.
