      Hello. I see that it is now no longer possible to add a new WP in the distance and planning section. By this i mean that if you put a start point and end point and later decide to add a new WP between these two this is now not possible

      Secondly, until yesterday you used to be able to right click on the mouse to bring up an options page and in this drop down page you could choose to get the exact wind speed or strength from any particular spot on sea or land, for today, tomorrow or a week from now. That option has also completely dissappeared.

      These were two functions that are so useful to me and i would be very greatful if they could be added back in again on the next update, or as soon as possible. I welcome any updates you can offer. Many thanks

        @Charlie-Carlow Hello, regarding to the route planner, we will get this back in the next version.

        Can you please provide more info about the issue n.2?

          @Suty Hello Suty. Thank you for the update for the first point. The second point i was referring to was an optin to position the cursor in any location, right click and you would have a mini menu box appear right beside the cursor location. From this mini menu you ued to be able to choose an option that would give you the values of the point you had clicked on. so, if you were looking at the page of wind gusts then you would see what the speed was at that particula point you had clicked on, or if you were looking at wave height, or CAPE Index, any option really, there was a function you could choose to tell you exactly what the figure was at that point. Annoyingly i cannot remember what the option was called but it was inbetween "elevation" and "forecast for this location"

          I have hopefully uploaded a screen shot to show what i mean. The little white dot where the black box startd from is where i have right clicked the mouse. Now there is no options to see what the exact figure is of wind speed at that location. Previously it was. It would be amazing to have that function back again as well. Please let me know if you need more information. Thank you.

            Here is a screen shot i took of a few months ago and it shows how the function looked when you selected it. In this exacmple it is showing the max wind speed on a selected area. Currently the option to get exact weather info at a selected point does not exist.

              @Charlie-Carlow Okay, you mean our map picker under the right click menu. This will be returned back in our upcoming version as well.

                @Suty Morning. I see there has been a new version released but the weather picker option has not returned under the right click of the mouse, nor has the option to add more waypoints on a route once you have created two points. You cannot place a waypoint between them. Is there a way to get both these functions back in again? The weather picker has returned but only functions while you have not placced a route on the screen. As soon as you have placed a route beteen two places (under the distance and planning option on the right click) you lose the function of the weather picker. Please can we get these two functions back!?
