C-Forecast Plotter Weather

C-MAP is introducing a new weather service as well. Last week I wrote about the two services from XM WX (WxWorx) Satellite Weather and The Weather Channel Marine (TWCM).

"C-Forecast can overlay weather info right onto a plotter screen, only instead of the broadband and expense of dedicated satellite, this service works on compact data bundles that you download via cellphone. Most current plotters from Sitex, Interphase, and Standard Horizon are already programmed to display C-Forecast."
