    @idefix37 true, I imagine too that who decides to bring a computer instead of just a mobile device might be less frequently affected by disconnect cases. The reasoning for postponing it for the app is hard to follow. I’ll follow this up in the thread where the decision was communicated

    @nikballoon Hello, this issue might be related to the fact, that the company Let’s Encrypt has ended support for some certificates so some older browsers and older operating systems are experiencing these issues. I can recommend using updated OS. Or if you still have issues, use the latest Mozilla browser 93.0., where you should not have any problems, since Mozilla downloads certificates on its own and does not rely on OS. You can read more on this here – https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/21/lets-encrypt-root-expiry/

    It is incredible that the question raised in 2018 and plenty of solutions proposed are not implemented, or maybe they are but this has not been said here. So what you say is even if I want I cannot say to the app save forecast for this region for next month and go offline? Because this way you would break no agreement.

    @ramelez One of the reasons why Windy cannot provide ECMWF GRIB files is because of licence agreements: https://community.windy.com/topic/3518/off-line-access-using-grib-files/2 Then, as you say, it should be necessary to use a special Windy GRIB application and sailors would ask too for an additional routing function. For shorter passages, a good improvement on Windy should be to offer the possibility to keep in cache the forecast up to 5 days for a limited region. But this is not suitable for longer passages. (To do that for 2 or 3 days offshore, I use the video screen capture on iPad, but then you need to stop regularly and have a beer in a WiFi spot bar to refresh the forecast... and you too)
