Route planner, weather on map doesn't correspond with weather ribbon
-
I have made a route, see here.
However, the weather shown on the map and the weather below do not correspond, see image. Is this a setting issue?
-
@Thialf-mate
Did you check that the direction reference for the wind is “North up” ?
With other settings, “Left to right” or “Bottom to top”, the wind direction is different on the map and in the planner panel.
If you want to know what these settings mean, let me know. -
Direction is not the problem, it is the wind speed. As you can see, the forecast is for Saturday where the ribbon states 2 knots, while the map shows winds closer to 30 knots.
-
@Thialf-mate
Sorry, you are right. I don’t know why you get this anomaly.
But as the direction is wrong too, there is a wrong synchronisation between map and panel. -
@Thialf-mate
I have tried to replicate your issue. But I don’t observe the same anomaly.
On my customised map showing a wind speed scale in Beaufort degrees, you see that 29kt N is just between 6 Bft (orange) and 7 Bft (red brick).
This discrepancy between map and panel is usually seen when the speed button is not turn ON.
Could you turn it OFF and ON again. -
I had done that already several times the past couple of days, but to no avail. At this moment however, the ribbon seems to correspond much better somehow.
-
Unfortunately the problem seems to persist. In the past this was not the case. Has there been a change in programming on this feature?
-
@Thialf-mate
Which browser are you using ? And which device and OS ?
As said above, it works for me but on iPad with Safari. -
Windows 10 Enterprise with Edge browser. On Android it also doesn't function properly.
-
@Thialf-mate
Please could you post new screenshots, in both version. -
It is basically the same as my first screenshot.
-
@Thialf-mate
I can't explain it. I hope it gets fixed.
Just one more question: is the map from the ECMWF model? -
Yes, it's the ECMWF model indeed.
Do the programmer also read these posts?
-
@Thialf-mate
Administrators do read every messages and some developers too.Would you plot the same route as my screenshot between these 2 points. And note the ECMWF update time. In my example it is 2025-10-19T18:00:00Z
-
That example plots well over here as well, but is a short track while the differences are not that much.
-
@Thialf-mate said
the differences are not that much.
There should be no difference at all.
If my route proposal is too short, would a route from La Coruña (NW Spain) to Mizzen head (S Ireland), in one leg, long enough to show the discrepancies you mention ?
I just would like to see if we get the same issue and why. So knowing start and end of trip would be useful.
Another solution would that you provide a GPX file of the route. -
What about the link with the route in my first post?
-
@Thialf-mate
Your link open the Route planner but doesn’t shows any route. -
I do not seem to have the privileges to upload, but the code in the gpx-file is blow (as it doesn't display code properly, I changed < for [. If you change that back in Notepad and save it as gpx-file, hopefully it works).

Have you used this option ?
If you can't export a GPX, at least agree to plot a route from a point on the Irish coast to Newfoundland for a simple test.
