Download weather maps using it e–mail

Is there a way to get the maps issued by the world's major weather services without using facsimile? The answer is YES and the method is very simple!

All we need to do is email the map url to the address query@saildocs.com . In the title of the email we send, write whatever we want or leave it blank.

The question that arises is how you will know the url's of the maps. THE MeteoMarine to make life easier for our sailors he has prepared ready-made tables with the urls of the major meteorological services.

Note: We emphasize that for NOAA-OPC-NHC-HPC-MetOffice charts you can better use or the system FTPMAIL or MailaSail.
