Aircraft; Human Factors; Procedure
WSI through the company continues to advise the flight crews with turbulence FPG's (Flight Plan Guidance) and Sigmets with fixes that cannot be determined accurately and expeditiously; i.e. 160NNE HEKAB. If WiFi is available (many times it is not) the WSI FPG's can be displayed on the App using the company iPad. Without this I must ask the Dispatcher to determine where along our route these turbulence areas are located; this takes unnecessary time and effort.
B777 Captain reported difficulty plotting company-provided areas of turbulence when the aircraft WiFi is unavailable.
