Speed Dial
The speed dial enables you to turn on animation and view the progression
of the forecast over time, without manual adjustment. The speed dial has 3
animation speeds low, medium and high. The default position of the dial is off.
Select the speed you wish to view the animation by turning the rotary knob.
The GRIB overlay will change incrementally until it has shown all of the
available GRIB information on that file then it will return to the present time
and start over again. The animation will continue on loop until it is switched
off or cancelled by pressing ‘Enter’.
GRIB Disclaimer
GRIB weather files contain weather forecast data, by their nature weather forecasts are
not 100% accurate or reliable and should be used only as a guide. Wind data in the GRIB
files displayed on Zeus are the mean ground wind speed and direction at 10m altitude,
various factors such as mast height, tides/currents and gusts will affect the actual
True Wind experienced when sailing. Note: data becomes less accurate as the file gets
older (i.e. day 3 on the 20th sept forecast is not as accurate as day 2 on the 21st sept
forecast).
