Selecting t

he Forecast menu option on the Chart panel displays the GRIB weather dialog. 

Use the

 

import file option in this dialog to open the File manager and import a GRIB file 

into

 

memory.

Using this dialog you can also select an available GRIB file. Selecting an available GRIB file is

 

the same as importing the file into memory. Available GRIB files are files downloaded from

 

a weather service supplier to the Gribs directory (in the Files manager). 

Displaying GRIB weather as overlay

Imported GRIB weather data can be displayed as an overlay on your chart panel.
When the GRIB weather overlay is selected, the chart menu increases to show GRIB weather
options. From this menu you can select which weather symbols you want to display, set the
distance between the barbs, and adjust the opaqueness of the weather symbols.
From this menu you can also animate the weather forecast. Refer to 

"Animating GRIB weather

forecast"

 on page 119.

The Forecast menu option displays the GRIB file currently in memory and overlaid on the
chart. Select the Forecast menu option to import a new GRIB file into memory. Importing a
new file overwrites the GRIB data in memory.
