      Hi,
      I’m using Windy on iPhone with ECMWF selected as the forecast model. When I use the route planner, the wind speeds shown in the routing table do not match the wind speeds shown on the map at the same time and location — even when I tap the same waypoint.

      Example:
      At a waypoint on a Panama–Marquesas route, routing shows 18 knots, but the map shows around 6 knots at the same time and place.

      I suspect the route planner may not be correctly using the selected model, or it’s caching old data. Can you confirm what model the route planner uses on mobile and if there’s a known sync issue?

      Thanks — love the app, but this makes routing hard to trust offshore.

      Espen

        Note that Route planner only works with ECMWF model.
        I made a test from Panama to Marquesas islands (Îles Marquises). The speed and the direction of wind in the Route planner match perfectly those in the map. I can show it to you if you need.
