Original release notes

This major OceanPulse release includes a new app layout that appears on launch. The new dashboard shows at a glance weather information, maritime safety alerts, along with quick access to your favorite tools like coastal charts and tides & currents. OceanPulse is also launching an industry first AI driven analysis of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System. Typically broadcast via radio & satellite, we perform an analysis of the broadcast and translate to easy to read storm systems show directly on the chart - with the ability to step hour by hour to see how the forecast changes. We are also introducing the new Ocean Pulse daily summary, a quick summary for the expected conditions broken down by morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight. Also updated is our atmospheric and ocean weather forecast table view, now shows additional forecast fields like CAPE index, and is grouped by section, for wind, wave, currents, and atmospheric categories. OceanPulse is also proud to announce the available of ECMWF, AIFS, and Copernicus Mercator models. Much of the forecast data from these highly respected models are available without subscription. In fact, wind, gusts, rain, cloud, and air temperature are all now available on our free tier. To make use of these new weather models, we've completely revamped our forecast map view. You can show wind, waves, currents, rain, gusts, cloud, air temp, and CAPE forecasts on a dedicated animated map. Our engineers also massively improved the rendering performance of the on map particle effect, the net effect is the animations use minimal CPU & GPU processing, resulting in longer battery life. In the new map view, we also launched a split view, allowing you to compare two models for the same field (like wind) side by side, or to compare two different fields (like wind and waves) together. The rain radar feature has also been updated with a smoother animation while scrubbing and the download time has been reduced by 90% allowing you to see rain radar nearly instantly on device. The tides feature and the tracks list now allow you to sort, group, and pin your favorite stations and important track recordings. The OceanPulse live activity has been updated to show our logo. We also fixed a bug that prevented weather data failing to load in certain regions of the globe. We hope you enjoy these major new improvements as OceanPulse bec…
