      I don't see the wind or wave conditions advancing with time on the route. It appears the predicted weather conditions over the entire route are shown only for the starting time. Actual route planning would show how the weather will change as the vessel proceeds along the route, based on the selected starting time and vessel speed. This should be shown on the one screen without having to mouse along the timeline. An additional feature would be some marks on the route line for a chosen increment of time.

        On Route planner, weather conditions are changing along the route according to the time.
        The diagram shows the conditions that you will encounter during the trip, "on one screen without having to mouse along the timeline". Or do you get a bug?
        The map, of course, shows the weather as forecast for each position of the boat.
        At least could you show a screenshot ?

          Route planning seems to show totally different wind forecasts than the forecast shown for the exact timeframe just using a typical wind forecast. I've made sure both are set to use the ECMWF model.

          Screenshot (202).png Screenshot (203).png

          Just looking at 9pm winds for Sunday 07/23 The route planner's wind forecast show winds from the east.... regular forecast pulled at the same time for the same time period shows winds from just east of south. And, when scrolling through the routes time line on the route planner... the animated winds depicted have no absolutely no relationship to the forecast winds.

          Any advice is appreciated.

            The wind direction reference in the browser version can be set for a standard way to show the wind direction.
            See More options in the bottom left corner of your screen and set “wind barbs” to North up.
