Weather Underground and Active Captain

[Bruce Moore]

In case you haven't seen the announcements, Weather Underground has launched a new boating section which displays current wind, wave, tidal action and predictions, and they've integrated all ActiveCaptain markers - all on one page. ActiveCaptain members log in to see the AC data. Plus, Weather Underground doesn't use flash, so the page can be viewed on Android and iOS devices.

Yesterday's Active Captain press release is here. The Wunderground Sailing Weather page is here.

Cheers,

Bruce

Tried getting Tide info at my Edmonds Marina today... bummer.

Cannot display this tide. Please select another.

I am having a number of issues with the new WU site. Nothing happens when I enter my Active Captain credentials even after flushing the IE cache and reloading (suggested as a workaround by Jeff on his Active Captain Facebook page). Also getting error messages and some links do nothing. This site is brand new and still has teething problems. The potential looks very good.

Try clicking the tide station icon directly under Edmonds Underwater Park on the map at the right. It will display your tide directly below the map.

Ummm, what are AC credentials?
I am member and all I know is my account log in...

 

[Levitation]

Well doh... Should have tried first...
It works with my AC log in - except the tides also, same cannot display message...
I do not see a tide icon below the satellite view or on the view...
Must be doing something wrong...
