We've been talking about it since 2020 in the Facebook group of Weather4D users, the messaging app Weather4D Routing & Navigation (¹) now works on Mac with ARM processors : Mac M1 and later, from the system macOS 11.x (“Big Sur” et seq.). Simply connect the Mac to a GPS receiver or NMEA gateway via Wi-Fi to receive the position and navigation data of the instruments.

The large screen display (here a 27" 4K) can be particularly comfortable for those who want to install a Mac Mini at the chart table of their own boat. The mouse control is perfect, Excellent smoothness and resolution of the screens provides an exceptional display of raster mapping.

From macOS "Big Sur", compatible iOS apps with macOS are listed in the AppStore by visiting your account. Warning : some apps marked "Not Validated for macOS" mean they are not adaptable to Mac screen sizes. They can be used but in a window in iPad or iPhone formats as the case may be.

How to do it ?

Cette évolution, matériel et logiciel d’Apple, finally allows you to benefit a multi-platform navigation application that meets all user needs. A noter qu’une seule licence de l’application permet d’utiliser jusque 5 devices, Mac compris. C’est valable également pour l’abonnement météo (achat intégré) et la cartographie chez Geogarage.
