Downloading GRIB files via IridiumGO
Hi folks,
I have the latest version installed. I can't get the weather gribs to load via a GO connection.
It makes the call and negotiates and connects but then after a while I get an error.
The exception is the Mercator current data. That works.
If I connect via a normal wifi connection I can load any of the models, but I get errors when using the GO.
What am I doing wrong?

Re: Downloading GRIB files via IridiumGO
Did you select Iridium Go in Settings > Internet > Connection?
anyway, when using the Go, i usually get grib files as an email attachment from saildocs, over one of the low bandwidth email services from Ocens or XGate
they work really well.
Predictwind also works well with the Go

I too usually download GRIBs with Expedition forming the Saildocs email request for my XGate subscription. Then import the GRIB file attached to the response.
