Clearpoint Advantages:
- Safety:
- At sea, you want to ensure the safety and comfort of your passengers and the security of your boat. When you have access to more accurate forecasting, you’ll have increased confidence in planning a smooth trip. ClearPoint gives you all the weather data you need for planning – weather patterns, fronts, visibility, clouds, wave height, and wind speed and direction. With reliable data in your hands, you can make the right decisions, including whether to leave a day earlier or later for the best chance of making your passage a safer, more memorable and enjoyable experience.
- Efficiency:
- If you are cruising along leisurely between 5 to 12 knots, you may encounter fronts that are moving faster than your boat can sail. To keep ahead of the weather, you need to be able to track its changes. ClearPoint’s accurate forecasts and current radar, satellite and frontal data are tailored for your precise location. For powerboats, wave, wind and weather conditions may also affect your fuel consumption and efficiency and the overall cost of your voyage.
- Simplicity:
- Some weather monitoring systems are overly complex and difficult to use. ClearPoint simplifies gathering crucial weather data so that it is clear, concise and rich with easy-to-decipher details. ClearPoint translates complex information into simple weather icons that display clearly and easily on multiple devices.
- Value:
- ClearPoint offers you value for money. You pay as little or as much as you like for your choice of daily, monthly, or annual subscriptions. Unlike other providers, you are not locked in to expensive broadcast satellite equipment or entertainment offerings as part of your weather package.
Keep your communications costs low while accessing the ClearPoint Weather service anytime, anywhere around the globe! Our service is priced to keep the weather data you need at your fingertips without the high monthly connection charges and airtime costs.
As a key part of every ClearPoint weather subscription, we offer a complete package of Winds, Fronts, Barometric Pressure, Ocean Currents, Satellite, Marine Zone Bulletins and Forecasts delivered to you in an optional low-bandwidth mode, so your satellite download size at sea is as little as 30 KB, taking you no more than 2 minutes on average to download the data, when using Iridium Satellite, for example.
