Wind direction in the route planner

[madshdk]

When using the route planner, the wind direction shown in the VFR or IFR profile is reversed. The “arrow” is supposed to have the head-end in the direction of the flow and the feather-end pointing to the wind. But it is displayed in reverse! What is shown is the head, pointing to the direction the flow is comming from and that is not aviation standard.

See these related posts which explain the wind direction in the Route planner when boat option is selected. But it is similar with VFR and IFR

But now you can choose the wind direction reference by clicking the 3 dots.
It works for VFR and IFR.

May be you’ll need to upload the app to get the last version
