Hi,

Just wondering where VSNG gets It´s live (real time) weather forecast? I don´t see a option to link to a specific online forecast provider, as In lest say NOAA for the US.

Thank you

I once asked Ilan about this and he said that the current weather API he uses does allow only limited amount of requests per time.

Hi and thanks for you´re reply.

Yes, I kind of noticed that. It takes awhile for the weather to update once you activate the live weather. But that´s not what I am asking. What I would like to know Is from where Is this Info Is coming from, and how does It know where you are at. I ask this too because I am using a user made scenery, but I am primarily concern about what online real-time service feed Is VS NG using to achieve live weather? Or where Is the api requesting this meteo Info?

Thanks

Another question would be...

Can OpenCPN Inject live weather Into VS NG?
