Will there be an ability to select from the drop down list and import all the forecast models from PredictWind? (ECMWF/SPIRE/UKMO/GFS/PWG/PWE) 

Which forecast model is your favorite from Long Island Sound?

I have two potential sources installed already I don't use.
A B&G Zeus3 with Wifi connectivity for example to tablets.
A Simrad GoFree WIFI-1 Wireless Module 
 

Suggestions for new features and capabilities » Hover function » 9/14/2020 1:49 pm

(1) It would be very helpful if when the mouse cursor is over any graphic on the screen, no matter an object, line, current or wind arrow, that a dialog box can pop up explaining what it is. Inside the dialog box also show information for that spot on the map, e.g. set & drift, wind vector, wave height, depth, and other information.

(2) For those not using a mouse (e.g. a pad), or for just wanting information at a point in the map where there is not graphic, perhaps a right button click is needed. If the right click is held more than 1/2 seconds the dialog box would appear offering information on the graphic, if there is one, and show information for that spot on the map, e.g. set & drift, wind vector, wave height, depth, and other information.

(3) Offer us an option. while doing the above, to get a table and graph showing how the above will change over time. E.g. like some of our chartplotters show a sign wave with information on set & drift, allow us to quickly scan forward and back in time to understand how the data is predicted to change (compilation of all predictive data sources) as the user scrolls back and forth, perhaps with the wheel on their mouse.

What are the options to get AIS information from competitors into Expedition so I can see the tracks of competing boats either during or after a race?

My Expedition Software runs on a PC with hardwire ethernet to an H5000 and WiFi. My Z3 displays successfully show AIS information. My AIS, a B&G product NAIS-400, is connected via NMEA-2000. If I had to, I could make this AIS a backup and install a new AIS transponder as a primary. 

Options with existing, I imagine would involve a N2K to ethernet adapter?  What to look for?

Options for new AIS that is ethernet or wifi connected?  What to look for?
