Planning Wind indicating wrong direction
-
Traveling SW, winds are animated SSE but the "Wind dr" arrows are way off... pretty much everywhere!
What an awesome tool otherwise!

@Branchie
Go to "more options" and select "north up".
P.S. I sugest you to read the "BOAT" section
in https://community.windy.com/topic/9596/how-to-use-a-route-planner@idefix37 In "BOAT", wind direction is set automaticaly LEFT TO RIGHT. Do you think it is preferable than NORTH UP ?

Yes, I thought the reference direction for wind was well now "North up". For "Boat" specially but not only.
I had understood that @marekd agreed having this setting as default
https://community.windy.com/topic/9013/windy-launches-route-planner/144.
In my computer unless I change it, this setting stay always on "North up".
Do you have this setting changing and not definitively saved?
For a new user of Route planner, I agree that it should be set with "North up" as default. -
@idefix37
In my computer, is no saved as "north up".
When I open "distance & planning" in BOAT mode
is shows wind direction relatively to the boat direction. -
@Gkikas-LGPZ
I do not understand exactly what you mean with "wind direction relatively to the boat direction".
Is it "bottom to top" or "left to right" ?
I have tried with another browser without being connected but with same PC. I still get "north up" when opening Route planner. -
