      I have just made some tests and at the moment it seems that the Route planner has some issue !

          In this screenshot you see clearly that the wind direction and speed do not match the wind conditions in the map.

          At boat position there is a weak northerly wind, when the table shows a southerly wind of 15kt.

            @idefix37 The routeplanner data represents data that extends from the middle of a time segment where you start. So if you start at 1200Z, or 1500Z (thus the middle of a 3 hour segment), it should be more accurate. (I think it is more accurate in premium. ) It would be interesting to test the accuracy, depending on the start hour.

              Here starting at 1600Z and with 1h forecast step, it does not improve anything.

              At boat position the wind is ENE, but shown as S wind in the Route planner.

                  Thank you !
                  That was the reason of the misunderstanding with @viatormarine until I checked the Route planner and see this recent issue. Up to now it was perfect.

                    Now wind on map and on Route planner are matching again at 340NM on a 576NM trip.

                      Is there a way to use an uploaded .gpx route in the Distance & Planning feature of Windy? I can see the route on the map quite clearly when I upload it but the Distance & Planning feature does not seem to recognize it as the subject for which I would like meteorological data. Is there a way to connect these two features and make them work together?
