Well, there might be something wrong with this place.
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.

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. -

I can create and edit routes on my mobile device, I am very fond of it (thank you for to be able to reverse the route especially). However I can not remove a saved route neither a button, menu vb. exists nor removing all waypoints discards it. How can I delete a route from my profile?
Thanks in advance

Forget my question! I've found it. Just dragging the entry to the left shows remove button. Sorry for the noise...

Hi,
Could you please explain or show step by step how to plan the route?
I have a Samsung Tablet and also a mobile phone and can't fi d the way to arrive at the status YouTube show in the picture. With my laptop no problem at all but I use the tablet for all navigations apps and just the route planner is not working properly.
Thanks in advance -

can't find the way to arrive at the status YouTube show in the picture.
Hi, I don’t understand what you mean here above.
Anyway, the way to use the Route planner on a laptop and in the mobile app is almost similar. But the way to place waypoints is slightly different.
Tap on your screen to see the crosshairs and scroll the map to place the crosshairs at the location of your first waypoint. Then click on Distance & planning in the top banner. Scroll the map to place your second waypoint. Add this waypoint and repeat this until the end of your trip by clicking on End measurement.
