Grib files
-
It is possible download grib files from Windy to be used with route planners?

Hi @LiberaMente this is not possible at the moment.

@Ondřej-Šutera ...and when is this feature planned for, any idea ? Being able to download viewed forecasts' corresponding GRIB files would definitely be great as I could use it in OpenCPN and onto my sailboat's MFD for route planning. One way or another, I definitely love the PC/web site weather rendering.

I don’t think that Windy is willing disseminate GRIB files mainly because of the licence agreement with the ECMWF.
The case should be different with GFS whose GRIB files are freely accessible.
If you imagine using GFS GRIB files on OpenCPN, whether it is GRIB files sent by any application or by Windy, you would not see any difference on Open CPN as this navigation software read these files and displays the weather data with its own UI.
If you imagine the same offline rendering as on your PC on land, Windy would have to develop its own offline viewer software.
