Feedback and Enhancement Request from a sailor

BELUGARSNavigar

Hi Windy Team,

this Web-App ist really great ! Thanks for all effort you had, have and will have !
We use it as weather forecasting on our sailing yacht BELUGA (https://www.arsnavigar.org). Its a very reliable forecasting with sensational and smart user interface. Thanks for all that. Its worth every cent to assign as premium.  

To improve further useabilty i have 2 enhancements to suggest:

* Preset Wind Direction (left to right .., north up) in Settings as Default preset

* Saving Default Speed in Settings as it is a bit confusing to set speed first to get an enroute weather.

Keep on developing you great app

Hi Ralph,

I assume you are talking about the Route planner.
I agree with your first suggestion. The wind direction reference (North up, Left to right, ...) is so hidden that if you don't check it every time you risk making a mistake in wind planning. So it would be useful to save it as a permanent setting.
Regarding speed, a permanent setting seems less necessary because it is displayed on the graph itself. (I would prefer to be able to adjust the speed on each leg between WP).

I see you are now using StarLink equipment. So you have broadband internet connection … and Windy at sea.
Have you tried the new offline feature?
