      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.

        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?

              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.

                  Please could you post new screenshots, in both version.

                    It is basically the same as my first screenshot.

                      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?

                          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.

                              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?

                                  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 ?

                                      368432F8-3E55-49AB-80EE-A06E73A01FCF.jpeg

                                      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.

                                        I can export it, but I can not upload it here. The single great circle voyage from your example plots fine here as well. It is the voyage with 30+ waypoints that gives issues. Have you been able to convert above code into a gpx-file?

                                          Sorry I am not a developer with high computer skills.
                                          Perhaps someone from the Windy team can help you by analyzing your GPX file.
