lat/long display on point
-
I am an avid premium user and use Windy for marine use offshore planning. Sometimes when you select a point it provides lat/long and other times it provides a shore location.
Is there a way to force windy to provide the lat/long for a selected point always and never a shore location?Consider selecting a point at 26.58N and 82.66W. It will show that lat/long. If I select a point slightly east, it will show “Lee County” with no lat/long. At that point it is more than 15 miles offshore, though without lat/long I can’t determine for certain.
Our weather is highly dependent on location on the Gulf coast. There can be a big difference in winds between 15 miles offshore and 35 miles offshore, for instance. So lat/long is important when planning offshore fishing sites. I try to match lat/long with the most favorable conditions on a given day and plan fishing spots accordingly. Without lat/long, that is guess work in Windy.
Also telling the user that they are somewhere long range the vicinity of Lee County, for instance is of no value. I can see the coastal area the map.
If you don’t have a way to force lat/long, could you add that feature? The info is already in the system. An alternative to help might be to make the lat/long grid to smaller increment such as 25 minutes subgrid line rather than only whole degree line. Whole degree grid scale is too long an increment.

The coordinates are displayed by the picker both at sea and on land. You just need to turn on ”Weather picker contains lat lon” in Settings
