Allow tenths in speed
-
In the distance and planning tool, the speed can be set in whole numbers. This isn't really granular enough. If your boat cruises at 7.5 knots, selecting 7 knots or 8 knots doesn't give a decent answer. May we please be able to select tenths of a knot, km/h, or mph? May we please also have this preference saved for the future?

@acunningham Hello, this is not planned right now. Still we talk about using forecast models with resolution of 9 km and in combination with speed, we don't see much sense in tenths of speed now.

@Suty
You're right about short distances.
But imagine a long 7-day passage: at 5 knots and at 6 knots, the difference in distance covered will be 168NM, or 300km. The weather conditions expected in 2 areas so far apart, will likely be very different.
Even on a 24h trip with these speed settings, you’ll see a significant distance. -
@idefix37 Okay, you are right about this and I will check this with our colleagues on our next meeting.
