GRIB weather

The NSO-II includes a GRIB data viewer. You can import GRIB files via an SD card inserted
into the card reader, and overlay the information onto your charts.
The GRIB data is available for download from www.grib.us
Importing GRIB data
GRIB data must be imported into memory before it can be used. The file can be imported
directly from an SD card, or from the NSO-II if you have previously copied the file to the
device.
¼ Note:
GRIB data that is imported from an SD will not be saved in the NSO-II. The data will
be lost when new GRIB data is imported.
Select the GRIB file on the SD card or on the device to import the data.
The GRIB weather display
Imported GRIB weather data can be displayed as an overlay on your chart panel.

GRIB informa-
tion window
When the GRIB weather overlay is selected, the chart menu will increase 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 you can adjust the
opaqueness of the weather symbols.
From this menu you can also animate the weather forecast as described later in
this chapter.
