      Good morning,

      Sailing from Europe towards United States, we have noticed since the beginning of our transit that using the menu "Distance & Planning" that the forecasts for the route drawn were showing wrong/opposite expected winds & seas directions than the general main streams display .Windy screenshot.png
      Can you check and tell us why we get this situation ?

      Thanks and best regards.

        Hi,
        This is because in More options you must select North up to get the wind reference direction to the geographic north.
        The default setting is From left to right. See more about it:
