Forecast wind direction map and table do not match , plus
-
Plus I notice a big difference between the forecast showed in the app and the forecast in Windy opened in my browser.
I don’t know what to trust and cannot plan our departure. -
@KrisEnNadia
Could you add screenshots showing these differences?
It is important to check that the model updates are the same on your devices. -
The difference is less outspoken now.
-
@KrisEnNadia
Assuming both these pictures are the same model. I've noticed a difference between the app and the browser as well but it was because the model hadn't updated on the other device yet. -
@idefix37 see waypoint 2 ?
-
@Wheats thank you , where can I find the update, of see if it has been updated? Sorry, the app is new for me
-
@KrisEnNadia
No worries. I think @idefix37 may have better input. I don't use this planning feature much so not sure how you would easily find out the current model run.When just viewing the point forecast...
On browser:
On android (v46.1.0):

As @Wheats pointed out, it's important to verify that both devices are displaying the same model update.
See @Wheats' screenshots.
Reference time must be the same. Time (T) 12:00Z (UTC) for instance and same date.
More details:
In the browser version, click the small i in bottom right corner of your screen
In the mobile click on About this data below the list of models in the menu.
Are you Premium user on both devices? Free users only get 2 updates per day while Premium users get 4. -
@KrisEnNadia
Then there is something wrong in your route plannings. You need to activate the speed with the switch in front of “Speed” and, of course, set the same forecast speed. Without setting the expected average speed, your 2 tables does not show the forecast weather along the route.
By the way your route is a bit coarse because, unless you are sailing on a big ship, you are not allowed to sail in the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) or you need to cross it perpendicularly. -
@idefix37 yes of course I made sure we use the same model, same speed etc etc. Probably was something with the update
-
@idefix37 I made a route to see where more or less we can arrive within 24hrs. Will use our detailed route. We will of course not sail in the TTS. But thank you for the warning :)
Do you know if I have to trust the wind direction given within the animation of the wind, rather than the arrows in the table ?

They should be exactly the same, if you compare the wind speed and direction in the layer forecast by ECMWF and in the Route planner panel because this planner is based on ECMWF data.
As already said you must activate the Speed and in the mobile app, you need to tap on the panel to see the boat position and to update the wind map.

@KrisEnNadia
Did you check that in “More” (options) the wind direction reference is set to North up ?
I guess it is set to “Left to right” !
-
@idefix37 no, it is north up
-
@KrisEnNadia
I did a test after you posted your screenshot.
Here is what I got with North up setting:
And with Left to right setting
Could you check that again ?
