## Description

**Squid - Marine Navigation** brings professional weather routing from SquidX to Android, giving offshore racers, cruisers, and recreational sailors powerful navigation tools trusted by elite Vendée Globe and ocean racing teams.

Compare multi-model GRIB forecasts from GFS, ECMWF, AROME, ARPEGE, GEM, and NAM with forecasts up to 10 days ahead. Plan routes with smart routing, roadbooks, cloud-based multi-route comparisons, yacht polars, meteograms, and detailed weather layers for wind, gusts, pressure, rainfall, swell, waves, currents, and more. Lightweight GRIBs, offline support, and Iridium GO! compatibility make Squid suitable for low-bandwidth offshore conditions.
