Customizing Coordinates & Overlaying Hurricane Tracker in Windy.com’s Distance Planning Tool

[Shamir Akmad]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using Windy.com’s Distance Planning Tool for maritime voyage planning, and while it’s an amazing resource, I’ve encountered a few limitations that I’m hoping to discuss with others here:
1. Customizing Coordinates: Is it possible to manually input or edit specific coordinates for waypoints? Dragging waypoints is helpful, but precise coordinate editing would be a game-changer for maritime navigation.
2. Overlaying Hurricane Tracker: I noticed that the hurricane tracker feature can’t seem to overlay while using the Distance Planning Tool—or am I missing something? Being able to track storms alongside a planned route would be incredibly useful for real-time decision-making.
3. Displaying Coordinates on Hover: Wouldn’t it be great if Windy.com could display the coordinates of a location when you hover over the map? This would make it much easier to note exact positions without additional tools.

Does anyone know if these features are available, or if they’re planned for future updates? Have you found any workarounds or tips for similar needs?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas!

Cheers.
