      I had a typo in the formula. I omitted the negative sign in the first number of the equation. This is the correct one:
      Corrected Average Speed = Average Speed +Correction*(-1+0.0336*(RelWindAngle)-0.000146*(RelWindAngle^2)).
      Sorry.
      The portion (-1+0.0336*(RelWindAngle)-0.000146*(RelWindAngle^2)) provides a value from -1 to +1 with this shape:

        I have used this feature to map the center, measure the girth, path, pace, and distance from land...simultaneously for Dorian. Its a great tool...and to my great advantage...simple to use! ;->
        Nice work.

                On iPad, Distance & planning window appears with a long press on the screen. But I don’t know if it works with iPad Pro 1st generation.

                    Great. May be sometimes you introduce nm nautical miles instead km. Implement it into Settings
                    .

                        Absolutely incredible cool feature. I assume in future you support a velocity to move along the route and the matching weather for the future waypoints is adopted. At e also select time to enter for a waypoint.

                            Hello,

                            For me as a pilot is relative wind better then absolute.

                            I appriciate also option to set speed or timeframe - to get a forecast for the route similar as Ogimet.com offer it in Gramet.

                            I have a problem with color scheme (very low contrast) of weather strip - pressure/FL/temps are nearly unreadable without zooming (VFR/IFR),

                            Thanks
                            Z.

                              this is a start of a awesome feature - waiting to try out the option of speed of movement and changing forecast in course of time, and GPX..

                                For route planning interface (without weather info), checkout the caltopo.com interface. It works really well for roads, hiking trails.

                                It might be too much work to implement that kind of interface, but just wanted to mention it incase its easy enough.

                                        Is there a way to use the Boat route planner on the mobile app for iOS? I really like the fact that I can see wave height for the route on the computer version but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get that on the mobile app.

                                          @mwodziak Mobile version of route planner is a really big challenge. We still trying to figure out how to make it usable and meaningful on mobile devices. I am afraid we will be working on the planner next year at the earliest, but as we can see, people use it and they want to use it. Thank you for your patience.

                                            @marekd well on pads it is already quite useful, here from a Google Nexus: https://blog.mah.priv.at/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Screenshot_2019-12-21-18-57-46.png

                                            I wish rplanner had a way to reversibly use full screen - lots of detail in the crammed bottom area

                                            great tool!
