      When i use the distance planning function the forecasted conditions as i scroll along the route dont match what the animated maps at that time show even with weather picker selected there is often a large discrpency between the two. For example along a forecasted route the lower ditance planning bar might be showing me 6 knts SW but then when the small white "position" indicator is scrolled to the same position along the proposed route the weather picker is showing maybe 15/20 knts.

      Anyone else noticed this or know whats going on?

        Hi, I have never seen such a difference unless the wind direction reference in More Options is not set to North Up.
        Can you check that it is set to North Up?

              Hi @2ndoffnahlin, I'm also not getting any discrepancies. Are You comparing with ECMWF model? Router planner doesn't support any other model, as mentioned in the popup in the lower left corner when different model is selected:

              Can I get screenshot of whole windy window, not just the part of it?

                Here you go.

                In this example a 0.3 difference.

                  Interesting. I tried to replicate the route (visually here it is, You could perhaps try sharing Yours so it is exactly the same) with same start day (2024-09-11 09:00 UTC).

                  And for waves, I don't see discrepancy higher than 0.1m:
