Major update to DKW German Bight and DKW German Baltic Sea Coast - 2024

In addition to the weekly updates of the DKW German Bight, just like with the DKW 1800 series, this popular water chart has now received its semi-annual major update. The DKW German Baltic Sea coast has also undergone this extensive update.

With the construction of many new wind farms in the North Sea, including off the German coast, and the renewal of a significant number of charts, this is the perfect time to update your charts. Make sure you have the latest information by updating your 2024 edition now or order the new 2024 edition immediately. Go on the water well prepared and with confidence.

Major update KNMI-Harmonie - Very accurate weather forecasts

With the extended versions of WinGPS you have been able to download very accurate weather forecasts for several years thanks to the KNMI Harmonie model. This model covers Dutch waters, including the waters from the Channel to the German Bight.

Last week, the KNMI implemented a major update to the Harmonie model, which offers you the following benefits:

  • Improved accuracy: The weather model has been optimized, making the predictions even more accurate.
  • More detailed GRIB files: The files are now 25% more detailed, resulting in more precise predictions for each location.
  • Extended forecasts: You can now view weather forecasts several hours further ahead.
  • More frequent updates: You can now update the GRIB files more often, from 4 times a day to 24 times a day (every hour instead of every 6 hours). This is ideal for the variable weather this season.

The KNMI Harmonie model can be directly used in WinGPS Pro, WinGPS Voyager, and WinGPS Inland for Windows, and in WinGPS Marine Plus for Android.
