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

Thanks!

@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.

@CraigM-0

Try now. skyvector uses rtept, now added.

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

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:

Sunsets

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.

Korina

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

@ivo Hi Ivo, tks about the route planner. When I export GPX file and import on Navionics, it's says the file is corrupted. Do y know if it is a bug?

Hello,
When will the route planner be available on Android (if ever) ?
I would love to use it on my smartphone instead of laptop, because I mainly use Windy this way, particularly when I am outdoor for paragliding, but to date I can only get the basic geometrical info (distance, bearing, etc).
Would be nice if I could get all this nice route details for VFR when I am right on the take-off location, planning a cross-country flight, and hesitating between different paths.
Apart from this, thanks for bringing Windy up to this excellent level, definitely the best weather forecast app, I am happy to contribute to premium access ! :-)
Best Regards
