OceanPulse: Marine Navigation

New in this release are custom forecast alerts. When the weather conditions match your rules, OceanPulse will send you an email or app notification up to 5 days in advance. Matching conditions in the table view will also show a bell icon alerting you to the matches. This release also includes a new weather replay capability. You can scrub back through the last 90 days of weather conditions to see how weather systems played out. This feature supports all the forecast fields available in our map, including wind, waves, rain, currents, and more. We’ve also built a new solunar feature allowing you to see precise moon phases, sunset, sunrise, moonset, moonrise, and all three twilight events for any location on Earth. This feature works entirely offline. OceanPulse now supports live track sharing. While you record a track, you can create a shareable link. Anyone with or without an OceanPulse account can see your track history live on a map in a web browser or in the app. This feature requires network connectivity, but OceanPulse will intelligently queue up position data while you're offline. The feature supports up to three weeks of no network connection, allowing you to share even the most remote passages with friends and family when your connection is restored. This major release also includes the ability to view live satellite-based views of clouds. This feature provides near-real-time satellite imagery from multiple sources and provides you with a comprehensive global view so you can watch storm systems. Last among the new features is the new sea surface temperature forecast. In addition to the RTOFS forecast, OceanPulse uses a once-a-day satellite-based measurement that averages conditions blocked by clouds to provide actual measured SST. We’ve also made a number of improvements to existing features. The forecast table view now includes a graph mode for easier visualization. Across the entire app, any feature requiring OceanPulse data will alert you about system delays or outages. We show when data was last refreshed and when the next update is expected. The weather maps view also shows a crosshair and displays the value of the data. The location search functionality across the app now respects neighborhoods, beaches, and marinas. Tapping a card in the daily summary view now opens the table view for the respective hour. If you share a track or record a track, the main menu will show an icon indicating the status. We fixed a bug where rain cells were difficult to see while the device was in dark mode. We extended GMDSS METAREAs to include the three northern Russian regions.
