        @Anthony-Hood Please check option under More button, there should be a setup and you should set wind as an option North up.

          In the Route planner the default setting of the wind direction reference is a virtual motion of the boat from Left to right of the screen.
          The usual reference being the North direction, as in the map, you should select North up in More options to get the same direction in the map and in the forecast table.

          Left to right is an interesting alternative to North up for a sailing boat because it shows when your route is heading into the wind and allows to show when your course is too close to the wind direction.
