Critique 2:
So having requested the weather file – remember you are at sea – you then log off your sat phone and log on some time later.
…lets hope the signal is clear.
 This is the credit I had before the call to download the email with the MaxSea grib file attached…..107 Minutes |
 |
| This (above) shows the download of the email and the size of the attachment and the duration of the call… |
 This is the sat phone call in progress…the extra time is for the authentication … before the email download begins…. |
 This shows the credit I had at the end of the call above…I seem to have used 32 minutes (107 – 75)…how did that happen…? ! |
Suggestion 2:
MaxSea should trial the file sizes; compression; and times required to download weather data at sea using the very common Iridium and other comparable services. I really don't think I will be using the MaxSea weather service out side of a home, internet cafe or marina Wifi connection!
