      I would like to recommend an enhancement for weather routing for ocean voyages. Once a course and distance is chosen, it would be nice to see a boat icon move along the course as you drag the timeline across. That way you could actually see what the wind conditions will look like graphically as you plan your route. The way it works now you only see your boat moving along your course by moving the curser along the data bar at the bottom, but this doesn't change the weather screen over time. Hope this makes sense.

        Could you say if you use the Route planner on Windy website or in the mobile app ?

        I guess you use the website.
        First you need to set the speed and turn it ON. On the timeline, you can move and change the departure date/hour. Then hover the forecast panel to see the position of the mobile and to move it, weather conditions changing accordingly.

        The round icon shows the mobile position, not a boat icon, because the Route planner is also used for flights.
