Expedition Weather Download
Hi sure its me missing something simple.
I just downloaded a forecast from the Exp weather and get "No Wind at Start" error in optimal. I downloaded the same from SailDocs and it works without changing any settings. Tried 1st leg in case I ran out of wind. Checked 1st mark in the water (done that before) Checked in grib folder and the file is there, with content.
Any ideas seems a recent change.

Simon,
One mistake that is easy to make is the Optimize Route start date.
Go to the Optimal ribbon and click settings...top right hand corner
Make sure you're starting the route within the start and end time of your WX

Re: Expedition Weather Download
I spoke too soon...I don't get any WX from the Exp WX selection.
Maybe Nick can explain?

Re: Expedition Weather Download
The GFS and UKMet data sources are currently experiencing issues on the Exp web server. The ICON and GDPS seem ok.
My web guy is hopefully working on it today ...

The UKMet and GFS are now fixed.

Hi Nick -
Can't download forecasts from the Exp web server, have tried UKMet, GFS etc. Is that a me issue or an Expedition issue ? Saildocs, etc working fine.
Thanks
David

Re: Expedition Weather Download
Hello,
We have a completely new website and grib server as of last night. It should be a lot more versatile in the future.
Unfortunately, the grib server is a breaking change, so you need to update your Expedition install.
