@Suty Is there any plans to merge Windy and Meteoblue subscription to one? Or at least provide discounts for users of one service for the other?

Route planner only ECMWF?
Is there any good reason why route planner does not support other models than ECMWF?

RE: Windy station on the boat - location not shown if changed
And additional question: I am also sending 'pressure' in Pa to Windy, but it does not show in Windy.

RE: How do I add my ship to be a station ?
@William-Krukowski This is very easy if you have Signal K on your boat network.
I have Victron Cerbo GX to monitor my boat electrical system and it has special Large firmware which includes Signal K open source software.
What I did:
- connect Cerbo GX to Garmin NMEA2000 via VE-Can to NMEA2000 cable
- install Large firmware on Cerbo, enable Signal K
- I have my Garmin network always on (I just turn off all GMI displays and plotters with power off key): this provides me heading, wind, depth and AIS data on NMEA 2000 network
- On Signal K I had to
- install Signal K Windy plugin
- install Derived Data plugin to calculate wind.directionGround
(from boat heading and wind angle)
And now I have my own windy station and I always know exact situation on my boat from Windy.

Windy station on the boat - location not shown if changed
I have setup Windy station on my boat with Signal K Windy plugin. It uses my Garmin boat instruments and Ruuvi sensors for the data.
https://www.windy.com/station/pws-f06efc48?44.666,13.653,8When I am underway, station location is properly shown on boat location on Windy map.
However, when I inspect historical data, it does not show the location of the measurement on the map - it leaves the point on the current location in my home port.
Can this be fixed as this data is misleading for Windy stations on movable vehicles like boats.

RE: Location
@Suty Well finally you acknowledge there is problem with localization, but only in your “new Radar+ layer”? The complaints about location service and your app go back to 2018. Are you going to fix it or not. Google maps, iNavx, and PredictWind can all track my location accurately, why can’t Windy? The answer is you can if you want to. Why you don’t want to and feel the need to is beyond me.

RE: Location
@Suty there are dozens of posts about the accuracy of location services on the app. It is so unfortunate that you guys play dumb about this issue. It makes me want to cry. You have a great product except for the critical issue of inaccurate location finding in the app. Please just acknowledge the issue and work on a solution. I have offered to help numerous times and you just pretend it is not an issue. Very, very disappointing

Location
Are you guys ever going to fix, or even admit that there is a problem, with the location finding portion of the app? This is one of the most important issues you need to address as it is a safety issue.

Weather along route does not match forecast data
This morning weather shown in the trip timeline does not match the forcasts. See image with weather along route and forecast near the end;
Overlay is wind, does not match winds forecast in trip timeline.
It was working fine yesterday, I have tried cleaning cache etc. -
RE: Windy Location Services
@idefix37 no that is not correct, it has nothing to do with the GarminGlo. All other apps I use work fine with StarLink and GarminGlo. Only Windy has problems. Why do so many users have this issue and why is this not being fixed, or at least being worked on. It would be nice if Windy would at least acknowledge that there is a problem with the app and start working to fix it. I also use PredictWind and it does not have this issue, nor do any other of the apps I use. Please let’s work together to get this fixed. I will be participating in the Global Solo Challenge 2027/28 and would really like to use Windy during the race as a weather routing/information tool but it needs to be able find my location accurately whenever I access the app whether it be via GarminGlo or some other external GPS provider to my tablets and devices. As I have said in the past, I love the Windy app and offer my help to get this right but so far, I regret to say, the response from Windy has been dismissive and absolutely unhelpful. I’m hoping someone on with a combination of good customer service skills and technical ability will address this issue ASAP.
Thanks
