If you are set on going with the Iridium Go then look at the PredictWind package with the GO.
See: https://www.predictwind.com/iridium-go <https://www.predictwind.com/iridium-go> I am not sure how far offshore you plan on going in your 29-1, but you may consider other options such as the DeLorme/Garmin InReach SE/+ or good old weatherfax via $100 SSB receiver (like the Tecsun PL-880) and an old iPad (or similar) using the Black Cat HF Weather Fax app. Radiofax is free, look the latest charts online: http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/fax/marine.shtml - Paul E. 1981 C&C 38 Landfall S/V Johanna Rose Fort Walton Beach, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ > On Mar 28, 2018, at 12:00 PM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > > Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2018 11:27:37 -0700 > From: Ian Matthew <ian.matthew....@gmail.com > <mailto:ian.matthew....@gmail.com>> > To: cnc-list <cnc-list@cnc-list.com <mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> > Subject: Stus-List Using OpenCPN connected to Iridium Go for offshore > navigation & e-mail > Message-ID: > <capg2b9ygtyjznhxbdee3xqebhr_o56wpy3flvkw8zxxdghu...@mail.gmail.com > <mailto:capg2b9ygtyjznhxbdee3xqebhr_o56wpy3flvkw8zxxdghu...@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > I am contemplating navigating offshore using OpenCPN and connecting it to > Iridium GO for offshore route planning.
