      Traveling SW, winds are animated SSE but the "Wind dr" arrows are way off... pretty much everywhere!

      What an awesome tool otherwise!

        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.

            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.

              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.
