How to use a route planner
-
@lrlss
Very likely because of a wrong setting of wind direction reference.
See:

Changing to absolute orientation also seems to have no effect -
It works perfectly for me. The wind directions in the Route planner panel are identical to those in the map.
-
@idefix37 Well, there might be something wrong with this place. At least I debugged the wind barbs and failed to guarantee the consistency of the two data. I can ignore one of them, so which would be more accurate, the wind chart above or the wind direction indication below?

I don’t think your bug is due to the location. Note I made my screenshot in China too. I suggest you make a try far in another place of the world. Let’s say in Europe, Berlin to Paris, and post a screenshot of it.
I would be more confident in the wind direction in the map than in the Route planner panel. -
@idefix37 Tested servers in both South Korea and the United States, and initial findings indicate the following: 1) It is independent of the selected language. 2) There is randomness involved, sometimes results are consistent, while other times they are not. If this is related to the loading of the wind chart, how can I determine whether the wind chart has finished loading?

Sorry I can’t give you further explanation about your issue. May be a developer can do it ? -
@lrlss Hi, could you please send short example of the route where this is happening, so I can test the functionality on the same piece and potentially forward this to colleagues?

@Ondřej-Šutera
A and B use servers in South Korea and the United States respectively. After refreshing, the wind map and the direction indicator below are basically consistent. Both pictures have a phenomenon that the circled local wind map is inconsistent with the wind direction indicator below. -
@lrlss Thank you for this detailed info. I will investigate it and discuss it with colleagues and let you know.

Hi,
is it possible to enter speed and the startpoint of the voyage. Otherwise it is not very helpful.
-
As a Premium user, you can access the route planner on the Windy website. You will see that it is possible to enter the average speed and the starting point of the trip. And also to choose the best departure date during the following days according to the weather forecast.

@jedallera
This feature is not available on mobile devices. -
@idefix37 thanks!

@jedallera
But now with version 39, this feature is also available in the mobile app. -
Hi, I'am a Windy Premium user and I'd lite to use the route planner when I'm sailing with my boat.
Unfortunately the route planner that I seguenti on Windy is completely different of what is reporter on this tutorial.
Just a small box appears on the left bottom corner listing the waypoints and the distance between, nothing else.
Is it changed this feature or did I miss something?
Thank you for help. -

@idefix37 how to make a speed leg per leg not average speed on full route.
-
Unfortunately it is not possible to set different speeds, leg by leg. You can only set an averaged speed for the whole trip.
Setting speed leg by leg would be very useful for a sailing boat as the speed varies with the wind direction. -
