recent updates have removed some basic features. Adding WPs to distance and planning and obtaining forecasted windspeed at any chosen location

@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!?

@Charlie-Carlow Hello, these changes will be returned in version 50, which is planned in two weeks.
-
@Suty ok, many thanks.

@Suty Just checking to see if version 50 is far away? Very keen to see the old funcions of adding new WPs to current routes and having the weather picker return to the right click drop box option. Any updates are greatly apreciated.

@Charlie-Carlow Unfortunately, there were some delays with this feature and it will be in version 51. I am sorry about the delay. It was caused by many changes in our visualization tech for the map.

@Suty Ok, sorry to hear this. So, just to check i am not missing anything. After you have used the distance and planning function and put various WPs in the ocean to create a route, there is currently no straight forward way to read the data at any given time without losing the route you have on the screen. If i flick between wind speed and wave height briefly, there is no way to see what the timing is on the wave pattern (how far apart the waves are) for example. I need to select a particulat point, right click and open the "forecast for this location" and then select the "waves and tide" option at the bottom. Then to get the routing back up, i need to clear the forecasted point and select "distance and planning again and the route automatically appears. Is there no other way to see what is happening at a particular point in time with the wind, waves, cloud cover, CAPE etc?

@Charlie-Carlow Hello, you are right that getting the point forecast for certain location with the picker is not possible right now in the route planner. However, when the route planner is closed, it is normally possible to use the picker.
-
@Suty Is there any news on when the picker will be available again when you have a route plotted out for several days. It is the most useful tool out of them all in this situation as you can see wave heights, wave distance, gusts, winds precipitacion, all in a few clicks. Closing the route each time means you cannot see the route you are taking and therefore cannot accurtely put the picker on the map where you will be! Any idea when it can come back, pleeeeease.

I am with Charlie on this Suty. You responded to me less than a month ago and said this feature would return after the May update and it is not there. Will the team be bringing this back?
-
@E-Talley Yes, this is still planned but it was postponed into the next version 51. I already tested this behavior on our end and it is prepared for the upcoming release. I am sorry about the delay.
-
@Suty Thank you.
