Every trip shows wind, sea state and weather for each hour. Where your instruments are silent, Apple Weather fills the gaps.
Hourly weather
Months later you still know how it was out there. Every trip shows wind, sea state and weather for each hour, without you writing a single line.
Where the values come from
- Wind from your instruments, when they are connected
- Temperature, conditions and wind from Apple Weather, when your instruments don't report them
- Waves and current from the boat itself, never from a forecast
What you see
Each trip has an hourly weather view. Tap an hour to adjust it, for example when the wind on the water was stronger than the forecast.
Free and Pro
Hourly weather comes with the app, for every trip, including the wind, waves and current recorded on board. With your instruments connected, every log entry also records the real wind, depth and weather. The charts of wind, waves and current are part of Manta Pro.
Turning Apple Weather on or off
The switch lives under Settings → Weather: “Fill weather gaps from Apple Weather”. Turn it off if you only want values measured on board.
Questions
Where does the weather come from?
Wind measured on board comes from your instruments. When they don't report it, temperature, conditions and wind are filled in from Apple Weather.
Can I switch Apple Weather off?
Yes. Under Settings → Weather, turn off “Fill weather gaps from Apple Weather”.
How does Manta know the sea state?
It estimates the waves from the boat's own motion, which your iPhone senses. Waves and current always come from the boat, never from a forecast.
Can I correct the weather of a trip?
Yes. Tap an hour to adjust it.
