Great, user-friendly routing app also good for viewing high resolution GRIB files
Mar 16, 2019 I like Squid a lot because it’s easy to use and to demo to students (I’m a volunteer sailing instructor in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Lake Michigan). Squid is a simple, user-friendly routing app with sufficiently sophisticated functionality. For those wanting something even simpler, it can be used as a GRIB viewer with access to many high resolution models. It allows you to choose the boat’s polar and restrict the route with waypoints. For cruisers it’s useful to have parameters that allow the user to change the standard polars, scale them down to a certain percentage, and include running the engine if the boat speed drops below a certain amount. Each time I demo it, my students comment how great it is. I like very much myself so I highly recommend it.more -
Aug 21, 2019 Great app. Takes a while to get to know it, but once you are familiar it has great features and viewing options.more -
Jul 5, 2018 not always clear instructions, you need to get acquainted with it. differences in the interface on my tablet and phone, and of course the desktop.more
-
Oct 21, 2016 If I can't export or use the route made whats the point of this app? Why not have same function as the PC application. Sailgrib does it. Also to allow gribs to be used in other programs if were paying. If your going to subscribe use the windows version, much better.more
