The app offers a specifically designed worldwide offline map. Users do not need internet to display a map or use any other features. GRIB files can be downloaded through a SSB connection and transmitted via iTunes to your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch or PC. You can open GRIB files in a browser or from or email attachments in WEATHERTRACK. This gives access to specialized weather forecasts, for example higher resolution data available from commercial subscription based services.
