High performance technology for any location

The ClearPoint service updates weather data as frequently as every five minutes, delivering automatic feeds on average once every hour. The forecast function allows users to "fast forward" or animate changing weather conditions on their screen for optimal route planning or itinerary scenario-planning, based on the distance, direction and bearing of vessels in relation to current location.

ClearPoint's global weather system receives its data from major global sources and provides updated information to customers within minutes of receipt. ClearPoint weather information is obtained from governments, military, commercial aircraft, commercial shipping, and national weather service providers from over 180 countries. Primary sources include the UK Meteorological Office, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), in addition to a wide variety of public and private weather sources from all over the world.

ClearPoint offers ultra high-resolution data up to ten times that of other weather providers. ClearPoint weather can be easily accessed over standard Internet, broadband and Wi-Fi connections, and offers full compatibility with the world's GPS and satellite communications services for continuous, real-time weather data feeds anywhere on the high seas.
