Dreamtime in morning light. (in reference to our support service).
I’m going to be giving GMN a mention on the zeroXTE site (within a blog) in the next few weeks. The service I have with you guys is nothing short of spectacular and I want the world to know about it (or the 600,000 people that visit our site now every month).
Since ABCNews put a link to our blogs within their site, our site traffic has gone through the roof – I hope GMN’s sponsorship presence results in some business for you folks.
Cheers,
Neville & Catherine

Satchmo M/V Nordhavn 46, enroute from Ft. Lauderdale to Gibraltar, Spain with the Atlantic Rally (in reference to both our WeatherNet and E-Mail products).
You can quote me in saying that this is one of the most impressive software programs I have ever seen. I harkens back to when software developers needed to be smart. Communications and driver software has long been known to require a few great software artists, as you clearly have in your company, and not the flocks of mediocre teams. No sane boater would be without this program.

Kenn Batt of the Sydney Bureau of meteorology
Amongst the yacht racing fraternity here in Oz and the ones I know from overseas. Your software is the best regarded and the Global Marine Networks site is well sought after for GRIB downloads, etc. I have a link to GMN on my listing of weather links on the Sail-World.com site
Best wishes
Kenn

From Dan Martin - Creator of www.buoyweather.com
I will use WeatherNet on my next voyage: I created almost everything on Buoyweather and I will use WeatherNet to retrieve my data. WeatherNet is easy to use, dependable, saves money and having all the weather you need can sometimes save your life!

From M/V Oceanexplorer
It works GREAT!! Terrific...as promised. This is the greatest thing for mariners since sliced bread. We will certainly sing your praises to all whom we meet. It seems perfect, no glitches at all. ALSO The HUMAN support more than makes up for any problems in the web site, sign-up procedure, etc. Our e mails were answered in a timely fashion and you were fantastic and knowledgeable on the phone. More important, you were enthusiastic.
NEVER overlook this:: That everyone expects an answer to e mail within one business day ( which you always did), and that EVERYONE DEEPLY APPRECIATES a knowledgeable human voice at the other end of the tech support number ( which was YOU). All the ads and boat shows in the world won't undue the damage done by poor e-mail and support, On the other hand, we are SO HAPPY with your e-mail and support that we'll never stop sending you business. KEEP UP the GOODS WORK. Thanks.

From Polly Vacher, Wings Around the World
I just want to say a huge thank you for your wonderful sponsorship enabling me to send e-mails via my satellite phone. This has been and still is a fantastic help to me, and in Antarctica, I don't know how I would have managed without it.
I do hope that you have seen my website www.worldwings.org
And...
Dear Luis
Thank you so much for helping me out of a hole yesterday. Especially as it was the middle of the night for you. I do so appreciate it. I have relied heavily on your sat phone connection as aol is useless in many parts of the world! It was silly of me to think that someone in a hotel business centre could fix up an aol link without effecting the gmn link. I have learnt my lesson. In fact, he didn't link me to aol at all, and just messed up my gmn link too.
You may have discovered that I am virtually computer illiterate, and just use it as a means of recording my diary and sending and receiving e-mails - BUT it IS my lifeline and it has been wonderful.
So, so relieved to be back on line - thank you
Polly

Tom Grace on S/V Adventure
Using my satellite phone, connected to my laptop, I can receive e-mail messages on the boat, here in the Bahamas. I am using a high-speed mail service which is set up especially for sat phone and SSB communications. It works exceptionally well, and is faster than you would imagine. For example, I generally send 3 or 4 messages, including my daily Adventure Log, then receive 3 to 5 messages, all within 30 seconds, often in less than 20 seconds. If you would like more information, feel free to contact me.

From Chris Parker S/V Bel Ami
Based on my experience to date, for those with a Pactor-3 modem, WeatherNet via MarineNet may be the most valuable single source for weather for cruisers in the Bahamas. Comparing WeatherNet to WinLink products, WeatherNet achieves a far-better compromise between level-of-detail versus size-of-file. Every WeatherNet product I've viewed has offered the level of detail I require, while keeping file size small. Many of WinLink's products are either too large (not enough degradation to reduce file size optimally) or too small (so much degradation the information is less-useful).
All that's required is to purchase the Ocens software (can be done online) and have an e-mail or Internet provider which supports TCP/IP connections. Products are downloaded on a pay-per-item basis, with most products costing from 15-cents US to 75-cents US.
The benefit of the real-time TCP/IP connection is that requested weather products are returned within seconds during the session (call) in which they're requested, rather than requiring a second session (a later call-back) to complete the download.
