<![CDATA[Windy launches Route Planner]]>One of the most requested feature is finally here! Now you can plan your trip or flight with our route planner.

How does it work?

Just use Distance & planning, which is a feature you might already be familiar with, and select the forecast type you need.

For example VFR:

Several points for discussion:

  • All winds are relative to the direction of movement by default, i.e. the green arrow pointing to the right is a tailwind, the red arrow pointing to the left is a headwind. You can change direction of movement (form bottom to top, from left to right) or set absolute directions (north up).
  • Do you think any particular forecast type or values are lacking?

Great !! This feature was expected on mobiles by many users for sea trips or flights. This is a big step forward.

Route planner is not available on iPad or cell phones. If you have read the posts above, there a way to get it on iPad.

In weather routing softwares, I know that in addition to their own library of polars there is the possibility to add / modify .text polar files. But where do you find polars database in such format available for any boat?

It will take a while, because we need to improve something around login/registration and subscription. But after that, we will get into the route planner.

A few months ago we discussed the possibility of using Route planner on iPad and I suggested to make it available via browser, if not possible via the app.
Now I see that Flight planner plugin can be used on iPad by bookmarking this link on Chrome:
https://www.windy.com/plugins?47.398,0.704,5

Apparently it uses a part of the Route planner UI.
Would it be possible to have Route planner available in the same way on iPad? Flight planner is a bit complicated for boating, Route planner is easier.

I'm particularly interested in ICON-EU & NEMS with bigger resolution for Europe 🙂

What do you mean with "not site windy premium" ?
I imagine you are talking about the Windy app ?
Yes, Route planner is not available in the app and you cannot do anything about it. As said above in this topic, "It is almost impossible to make route planner available at mobile phones due to the complexity of the UI".

No of course, but I do not see the reason why you want to start the Route planner in the past. You could start it from your way point 6 or 7 ?
Windy does not store and show past data.
