Freeboard-SK Grib files

Hi, is there a way to display Grib weather files contents in Freeboard-sk? It would be a great option. The goal is to use as much as possible Freeboard-sk and less as possible Opencpn. On a Raspberry Pi 3, SignalK + Freeboard-sk is super efficient as it serves web browser clients on remote devices (like tablets). Opencpn require a remote connection on the Pi3 (like Realvncviewer) or a hdmi display connected to it and it is a bit slow.

Freeboard-SK does not currently support loading GRIB data. This information is best suited to a map layer and Freeboard-SK can display these layers if they are available as a chart source.

Oh thank you for the reply. So it means if the grib files are processed into a map layer, the magic could happen? Maybe there is already a process to do this (I am a newbie) or even turn windy weather datas into map layer? I will look for this.

I could do this in the GaladrielMap SK, but I don't see the point. What is your usecase?

There are some services that do this, all you need to add is the url to the source url.
