Weather router refuses to route us due to changes made in update
-
When I questioned Star Weather again he said-
"the ECMWF weather model is really good- it is the way you drop waypoints that changed and is the problem"Is there anyway to make the way the waypoints drop that can go back to the previous version?

OK I see now what you mean and the long discussion about the Distance&planning tool he used before the update. Now it is not possible to use it on iPad in the same way as before. BTW the tool is not modified on desktop / laptop.
It is not a question of the plotting accuracy. The tool is still accurate when you plot the route, but if you want to change and adjust waypoint position you loose the position information i.e. coordinates.
Hope there is a solution in near future. -
Is there a way to find out if this is something that Windy programing has on their radar- if they are working on a solution?
-
@SV-Bertha Hi, we have already been testing some new functionalities in the route planner on mobile devices.
-
It's frustrating to encounter issues with our weather router after an update, especially when it refuses to route us due to changes made. Updates are meant to improve things, but sometimes they can introduce unexpected problems.
-
@cewodal660 Yes- I can't even fathom the complexity and details involved in the programing of something like Windy.
Since the issue has been very precisely described- I would think it is a reasonable request to have it repaired.
-
@Ondřej-Šutera is there a timeline for when these might be updated?

@cewodal660
The route planner was not available in the mobile app, so there is no reason for you to be frustrated. It is a new feature in on phone or tablet.
What has been changed is the Distance & planning tool, as explained here above. -
@idefix37 again- we just want to be able to have our trusted weather router get us safely across the ocean. He needs the distance and planning tool to be as it was previously. Is this something that can be done?
-
@SV-Bertha I think that the update should be available in a few weeks for mobile apps, this week in the web app.

@Ondřej-Šutera WONDERFUL NEWS!!!
