Ship Reports improvements?

See https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f134/ship-reports-weather-and-wind-293464.html

Starpath has an email service

https://www.starpath.com/shipreports/

which has been integrated into gtvlm, why not OpenCPN?

Yes, Squiddio has NOAA bouy reports, but the Tab for POI selection is missing for some reason.
It could show the weather from vessels too.
I made a bug report for Squiddio
#157

I am sorry I don't have much time to get this in decent shape but I think this might be a start.

" the Tab for POI selection is missing for some reason."

Not sure what you mean by this. Seems to be working correctly for me.
squiddio_pi v 1.3
Opencpn 5.5.1130 (only have access to an old machine right now)

I find when I first open, VIEW is not showing. I have to use the left-right buttons to get it to view. Pita.
Why doesm't the View appear that is the primary Tab.

Maybe the dialog should be formatted wider so all tabs appear.

Mauro, if this sounds a little abrupt, it is because I am trying to get Cel-nav done, am involved with WR_pi huge set of improvements and would like to get my boat instruments and new AP installed so I can get the boat in the water.
Sorry about the tone.

The reason I got started on this with you was you asked if anything was needed, and yes I do think we need to improve and update squiddio, as it is an important plugin for OpenCPN. I just didn't want to loose this opportunity in your schedule because the plugin does need some attention I think.

I may not be able to devote the time I would like to make good credible Issues that can be addressed. , and I am going to have to rely on you to guide this effort along. I can probably help and test, but I can't do what has been happening on Cel-Nav not this spring anyway.
