NavimetriX marks the birth of a new project from a long-time collaborator—the same team behind SailGrib, whose software the SailProof team has been using for years on our devices with consistently positive results. After years of experience with these trusted tools, NavimetriX represents the next step toward the ultimate sailing navigation app, bringing together everything sailors have come to rely on: precise weather forecasting, advanced routing, and professional navigation tools, all in a single, unified platform.
Created by Henri Laurent, the creator of SailGrib, and Olivier Bouyssou, the mind behind Weather4D, NavimetriX evolved from eSail4VR, the acclaimed Virtual Regatta companion app that supported tens of thousands of virtual sailors during the Vendée Globe 2024. The app builds on years of development, now offering a complete and unified 3D interface that synchronizes in real-time across all devices.
Whether you’re preparing a route at home, adjusting waypoints on a tablet during transit, or following navigation on a smartphone at sea, all your data synchronizes instantly through a secure cloud infrastructure, making your planning and navigation seamless.
For SailProof users, this is especially exciting: combining NavimetriX’s powerful navigation capabilities with SailProof tablets’ waterproof, sunlight-readable, and onboard-ready design provides a complete solution for planning, monitoring, and executing sailing adventures.
When an all-terrain app meets an all-conditions device
In our ongoing pursuit of offering the best navigation apps on SailProof tablets, NavimetriX stands out as a powerful all-in-one solution, bringing together an impressive range of features that quickly make it a must-have for anyone who tries it. NavimetriX provides advanced weather information, giving access to detailed wind, wave, and current models in a compact and easy-to-read format. It also enables fast route calculations, optimizing routes in seconds to make the most of prevailing sea conditions. The app also features NMEA and AIS integration, allowing seamless connection to onboard instruments and AIS transponders or receivers for enhanced situational awareness. All of this is complemented by GeoGarage raster charts, delivering precise and detailed cartography for safe and reliable navigation.
Here you’ll find other specifications:
- Comprehensive Weather Models: Access to ECMWF IFS, GFS, Météo-France Arome and Arpege, ICON, Met Office UKV, and more, with forecasts for wind, gusts, pressure, waves, and currents up to 15 days ahead.
- Advanced Routing Engine: Calculate optimal routes considering wind, waves, and currents, using an extensive polar library, pivot points, exclusion zones, and AI-generated weather briefings.
- Professional Navigation Tools: NMEA 0183 integration, AIS tracking with collision alerts, tide information worldwide, and compatibility with GeoGarage marine charts (SHOM, UKHO, BSH, NOAA, and more).
- Multi-Platform & Multi-Language: Available in French, English, German, and Spanish on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows.
When you purchase a SailProof tablet, you can enjoy an exclusive 3-month trial of the NavimetriX Premium version, giving you full access to advanced weather models, extended forecasts, intelligent routing, AIS processing, and professional navigation tools—so you can experience the app at its full potential from day one.
For SailProof sailors, pairing NavimetriX with a high-performance tablet means bringing professional navigation power right into your hands—from planning at home to steering offshore passages, all with tools you can trust.
