      I continue to appreciate this tool. It is proving to be very useful for visualizing weather along a sailing passage. It would be very cool if the weather detail bar as shown in the distance planner were also available for kml, gpz, GeoSON routes.

      As more routes are added, and I predict there will be thousands as others discover it, a search tool would be very helpful. Maybe search or filter uploaded routes by user? Or by those routes applicable to the current screen view, i.e. take the lat/lon rectangle from the screen corners and filter for the uploaded routes which intersect that rectangle.

      Thank you.

        Great work. I see .xml file upload possibility and have tried it but for some reason doesn't work. File has been converted from .csv file that I use for navigation in other system

          Can I upload a track into my phone app?
          Or is there any way to open the already uploaded track on the phone?

                    Question - how would I create an embed widget given I have a dynamic KML/GPX//GeoJSON fragment?

                    The input file would need to be passed as a URI parameter as it might be created on the fly

                    for the same reason, the upload to windy.com seems suboptimal - assuming you would not want a public upload everytime someone retrieves the page with the embed on it

                    any suggestions?

                    thanks in advance.

                      here is an example what I'd be looking for: https://sailpatience.com/where-is-patience/ - an embed provided by https://www.predictwind.com/ (which pushes all the right buttons for people trying to do tracking and weather as an embed)

                            Just note that I’m not the owner of this nice track sailing around the world.

                              @jmh2002 that looks very promising

                              will contact the author and see what can be made of it

                                There are several people who have developed such tracks on Windy maps.
                                Here is an other example
                                https://tracker.borisherrmannracing.com/
                                Another one was the track shown when Greta Thunberg sailed from UK to New York. So Windy developers knows how to do that.

                                  All those maps are based on Windy API: https://api.windy.com/map-forecast
                                  There are some official examples also available.

                                  My site is tracker.ee, you can copy-paste some code if you want, just don't make visually identical clone :)

                                  Multiple boats (race ended, so no active movements):
                                  https://gis.ee/sh/

                                  Single boat:
                                  https://gis.ee/leaucommotion/

                                  Probably most difficult part is getting data from boat.
                                  For L'Eau Commotion Iridium Go was used.
                                  Iridium Go has automatic reporting service via e-mail.
                                  Server can fetch those e-mail reports and make it usable for Leaflet map (Windy API).

                                    I remember too the live tracker of Ben Lecomte who tried to cross the Pacific from Tokyo to San Francisco. He abandoned in Hawai .
                                    He used a GPS tracker and had of course an assistance boat.

                                      If i use a KML with a network reference, does your webserver have to have access to that link? Looking to load files from my local network without having to upload them to your server.

                                        @skor Hi, if you want to use the 'Upload, display and share your KML, GPX or GeoJSON' feature, you need to upload the file into the browser.

                                          Yes, thanks i get that part. My problem is that i may not be allowed to share this data. So i'm trying to make sure i prevent it from being uploaded to your server. My thought was to take advantage of the ability that KML provides to use a reference to another file. So if i do that, does that data get loaded into the local memory of your web app? Or does it first upload the data to your server and then download it to the web browser.

                                            Or maybe i'm mis-reading your response. when you say " you need to upload the file into the browser." are you saying that even for the lower example above where it indicates "data is private" are you saying that the data is actually uploaded to the server but you are managing permissions such that i am the only one who can see it?
                                            That's what i was trying to avoid if i can.
