How to use a route planner

[Korina]

@CraigM-0 @mmmmmichael Hello, the speed factor cannot be added into the Route planner yet, but we consider it. Nevertheless, you can still move the timer above the route details bar and see what the weather will be like when you arrive.

@CraigM-0

Hi. You can do that with my plugin. windy.com/plugins -> select flightplanner

@Korina That would be super helpful. Hope you can do it!

Thanks!

[mmmmmichael]

@CraigM-0, @rittels said that he can do that I think he was saying select flight planner under the plugins setting, not sure click on the link and see.

[Korina]

@mmmmmichael Yes, as I can see, plugin from @rittels enables that. Great work!

@rittels I've been playing with it. Pretty cool.

Thanks!

@rittels Does import of .gpx work? I wrote a gpx out from skyvector and tried to import it to your plug-in and it didn't do anything.

[rittels]

@CraigM-0 hi

Should work. Let me check.

[rittels]

@CraigM-0

Try now. skyvector uses rtept, now added.

Thanks, appreciate feedback. Post it here: https://community.windy.com/topic/8745/windy-plugin-fp/

@CraigM-0 I'm glad we figured it out for you!

@Korina Great work? I was just trying to help. Thank you though!

@rittels Works! Thanks!

I wish you could do something similar for boat-trip planning!! The speed parameter is essential for a planner to be of any use.

[rittels]

@chrisanifadis I have been thinking about it. Thus include current in vector sum and also perhaps use polar diagrams to calculate speed for sailing boats. Maybe oneday.

How come when I use the app I don’t get the horizontal planner showing the IFR, VFR, boat etc. I seem to be able to get view on the web site also if I have not logged in? Is there a setting in my personal set up that is stopping me getting this view when logged in with my user ID?

@newtonsa Hello, more detailed view on Distance&Planning features is available only on desktop.

How can I save the route that I planned ?

Thanks in advance !

I guess this way:

Can I save my Route Planner Selections and then pull them up again later to work with them again? Or do I need to re-enter the points?

Thank you.

@Sunsets Hi, you can download a file with your way points or enter them again if you want to have the same route.
