Known bug: stuck download

There is one BUG in offline mode, we are aware of. Downloading of offline data, gets sometimes stuck. Reloading the page, and opening https://www.windy.com/offline helps, but this can not be permanent solution. If you are a techie, maybe you will be able to help us, find this nasty BUG.

Problems accessing Windy.com

Service Worker acts as a proxy server in between your browser and Internet, so if you will have a feeling, that there is something wrong with access to Windy.com, just delete Service Worker, and you are fine.

How to delete Service Worker

In you browser, go to View -> Developer -> Developer Tools

Thanks for sharing this update. I tried the new offline mode and it’s great to see Windy taking advantage of service workers for smoother access without a connection. I’ll keep testing it and share any feedback, but so far it’s a really promising addition

I'm frequently in remote areas with no service and have to resort to screenshotting the app on my phone in multiple locations to keep a 5-7 day forecast for a long mission - would be awesome to be able to offline this with more detail.

offline-surface.png

offline-altitude.png

Is the altitude slider expected to be working now?
Only surface data seems to be available, like weeks ago when You offered it for testing.

offline-rain.png
(Here no altitude expected :)

Edit: I can´t switch to Icon or Icon-D2 when the connection is broken, it works immediately, when net comes back.

offline-how.png

It seems, that the "service worker 👷‍♂ ", a browser tool only available ONLINE is needed to switch the models. It can also get lost when switching online/offline mode.

Now I have the SW-icon, but nevertheless can´t swich to offline.

After all that exercices it also can happen, that I can´t open the menu nor switch models, with or without SW👷‍♂, on or offmode .

As said in a previous post, the time line for wind should be shorten as I set the offline mode to be loaded for only 2 days. The timeline for waves is correct, not that of the wind.

Wind:

Waves:

I admit it is a small detail.

Further to previous tests, it seems that Route planner is now working with the offline mode on iPad. I’ll test it in future sailing week ends.

Some comments, comparing with the experience using GRIB files:

  1. looks like a bigger area than the red square is downloaded? it would be useful to be able to limit the area to reduce data size.

  2. it would be good to know in advance the amount of data that will be downloaded (important for remote, satellite communications)

  3. download progress bar could include amount downloaded, speed, ETA

Thank you for implementing this!!

I downloaded Wind and Waves for 2 days.

The timeline for Waves is OK

The timeline for Wind seems showing 10 days available, which is not the case of course.

I see that the square allows me to roughly locate the downloaded area.

The Offline mode works really well for me for a first test, and it is very easy to use.
There is only one point that questions me: what is the use of the square on the map? It might suggest that this is the area in which the weather map will appear after loading, as other apps work in offline mode. In @ivo pictures it is said as “downloaded area”.
But it’s not the case for me, nor in other users screenshots. We get the data full screen.
