      Hi
      This bug seems important to me and makes the route planning useless! There is a complete mismatch between the wheather forecast for a certain location and the wheather forecast in the route plan for the same date and time. Rain, wind direction etc. are forecasted even opposite: rain vs. no rain, wind direction 180° different...
      Please see attached example for Sabugueira, Spain, March 30, 9:00 am. The screenshot shows the forecast by clicking on the location (upper part) and the forecast using the route planning (lower part).
      => I cannot use this information for my route planning. Please help.

      Thanks

          Hi,
          The apparent wrong direction of the wind in the Route planner compared to the local forecast is probably due to the default direction reference being Left to right. You should change it for North up in More options

          Note I did not enter any speed because you did not mentionned it.

          Concerning the rain there is not so much difference but I did not enter a trip speed.

            Hi Suty, thx for your advice. I can confirm the wind direction is now the same after changing the setting.
            For the rain I will check some other points again. Speed was defined as 10km/h.
