New feature in WinGPS 6-2025: Read barometer


In the upcoming 2025 edition of WinGPS 6, expected to be released in spring 2025, we will add the ability to read NMEA data from a barometer. This will allow you to further refine your route planning and be even better prepared for the water.
 
Why is this interesting to you?

With up-to-date GRIB files on board, you have forecasts of air pressure, wind force and direction, temperature and precipitation. This helps you plan your route and estimate weather conditions.

With a barometer on board, you can also measure the current air pressure and easily follow its development. As you may know, high air pressure often indicates stable and good weather, while low air pressure predicts worse weather. A sudden drop in air pressure can indicate approaching stormy conditions.

By combining these data, you can estimate weather changes better and earlier, even if you do not have internet on board. This gives you the opportunity to adjust your route or make preparations on board in good time.

Happy holidays and a safe journey into 2025! Gift tips for under the Christmas tree. With the end of the year in sight, we would like to thank you for your trust in us over the past year. We hope that you can look back on a successful sailing season and look forward to new adventures in 2025.
