Windy launches Route Planner

As @Korina explained, you set the duration of the trip by setting the speed. Then you can choose your departure date and time by sliding the time slider along the time line.

@idefix37 Thanks for the reply, but unable to set slider before current date for a multiday trip.

Below began on 05 January.

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.

[Sailawayjim]

@idefix37 You are correct, the past is past. Old habits die hard! Thanks for opening my eyes and the quick response.

Fair winds and safe sailing to you !

While using the Vendee Globe plugin is it possible to measure the distance between the boats?

[Korina]

@taeoo Hello, no it is not possible to do it at the same time.

@marekd it is possible to use route planner on windy on the web and not site windy premium !!!
what can i do ?

[idefix37]

@pascal-8
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".

Do you have any plans to add additional weather models for route planner, besides ECMWF? I'm particularly interested in ICON-EU & NEMS with bigger resolution for Europe 🙂

[Korina]

@igor-320 Hello, we may do it in the future.

[Max.Patissier]

as helicopter pilot, I use it a lot ! great job !

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.

@idefix37 Unofficial, friendly info with no guarantees :-) We have mobile version of route planner in our timeline. 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.

Glad to know it. Thanks
