<![CDATA[Flight planning suggestion]]>Howdy Folks, love the product. I use it as secondary information to assist in flight planning.
I noticed you can create a route by adding waypoints. A brilliant feature would be to be able to search a flight number and overlay weather products and see the remaining portion of the route on the map.
Or be able to easy add a route string to overlay on the map when preplanning/pre-departure.

Thanks for the help.

OK, have tried Flight planner in Windy plugins? See Install Windy plugins in main menu.

The program would need to have the aviation enroute database to overlay certain waypoints or be able to type the name of a list of waypoints to have them overlaid.
Here is an example of a route one of my flights would fly.
MZBZ BZE UR899 CTM UJ61 CPE UJ24 NUDAN UM206 SESNO UJ15E MTY UT11 PPE J93 ASUTA AMMOR OLAAA2 KLAX
I'm sure other pilots would appreciate being able to type in a route string like this above and overlay it on the map. Or just type in one waypoints to overlay. Like NUDAN or SESNO. I can find the LAT/LONG for that waypoint but it's a lot of work when doing this for multiple flights and waypoints.

I guess you talk about the Route planner. When you have created a route you can save it in your favorite list and later get it back to your screen. Here is an example of a boat trip, but it is same with a flight.
Click Save route to favorite (A)

In More options you can export or import route files (B)
