Horrible Update
-
@Ondřej-Šutera Yes, I am using an iPad
-
@starweather2020
On IPad click on the map and move the map under the picker, click on Distance and planning. The first waypoint is added. Click on Show coord. to see it’s coordinates, then move the map to add the second waypoint….
It’s strange that the bearing from the second waypoint is missing.
EDIT: it’s because I did not finalise the position of the third waypoint.
-
@Ondřej-Šutera
In fact there are 2 separate features without the possibility to switch from one to the other:- Distance&planning showing a route, with waypoints, distances and bearings.
- Route planner if you choose a mobile (car, boat, flight)
-
@idefix37 You can’t tell the position of the cross hairs for the first waypoint before you drop it. You can’t tell the bearing of #1 to # 2 until after you have dropped #2. You can’t move waypoints once you have placed them unless you select “boat”, after which you can’t add any waypoints or see the bearings. Yikes

@starweather2020
It is why I suggest to Windy to get the possibility to toggle between both feature. Now when you selected Boat you can’t switch back to the basic Distance&planning feature. -
What happened to the little pin drop you had that showed wind speed? Now there’s a target there that disappears after a few seconds. I can’t look at the wind graphics and the wind speed on the top of the page at the same time. Please make it go back to where it was before. I am not happy with your update either.

Aaahh windy is awesome i love this product. But my immediate reaction to this update was not positive. I prefer the old weather picker, the textual layer menu on the right hand side rather than the images, the « normal » sided menu hamburger..the new gui is clunky. Can we p’ease have the option of reverting to the old version?
Cheers, and I appreciate everyone working hard for this awesome app.
-
@idefix37 You are right that the switch button between these two sections would be ideal, I will discuss this with colleagues.
-
@Ondřej-Šutera do you know if there are any plans to undo this update and revert to the previous one?
-
@starweather2020 I think that we cannot talk about reverting to the old version, however, it is possible that some changes will be made according to feedbacks. At this moment, I don't have any specific info about this.
-
@Ondřej-Šutera Thank you. If you could at least give us an option to make the distance and planning feature work the way it used to then I can go back to using Windy. I’m not concerned with the large icons - they look ridiculous but you would get used to it. Thanks again for your response.
-
@starweather2020 which device do you use? I am asking since route planner on the desktop version has been same the whole time and mobile devices has this feature for the first time.
However, we know about certain bugs in the route planner. -
@Ondřej-Šutera
Remember previous long discussions.
@starweather2020 would like to use the the Distance & planning tool on iPad as it was before the update i.e showing waypoints coordinates with the possibility to delete and grab waypoints. This is not possible now because when you switch to Route planner the Coords table disappears. -
@idefix37 Thank you for clarifying this, despite this info being already mentioned. I will discuss this with colleagues, however, I don't think that iPad would get the desktop version in the future.
-
@Ondřej-Šutera
No, but in the Route planner page it would be useful to have the option to display the Coords table or to switch back to the Distance & planning without deleting the Route . -
@idefix37 I already made a bug for this and forwarded it to colleagues.
-
@Ondřej-Šutera
Or more simpler probably for an app modification and more intuitive for the user:
Just give the possibility to delete, grab and add waypoints in the Distance & planning tool, not only in the Route planner itself. -
@starweather2020 I'm deleting this app, the last updates were horrible and the widget doesn't work properly anymore....not worth it anymore, btw. . widgets are quite bad, not to say horrible
-
Připojuji se k názoru, že poslední update není tak tak úplně povedený. Z widgetu například zmizelo ozubené kolečko pro rychlé přepínání polohy, zmizela i ikonka pro aktualizaci widgetu přímo z plochy.
