@idefix37 No they typically don't get a GPS input, so just take an estimate based on the your start time and date and speed, however you can just edit it manually as need be for adjustment. Different speeds for different legs of the route would also be helpful moving forward. Anyway, just offering suggestions to fine tune it, as it would bring in more premium users looking for a more tailored solution.

RE: How to use a route planner
@idefix37 Thanks for the follow up. Just to point out though that professional weather routing software actually does this, and keeps the original start date/time and point, but still updates to the latest forecast. I'm hoping this is a possibility, just might take some thinking through the best way to accomplish this. starting a new route every day is not a very practical option.

RE: How to use a route planner
@idefix37 Could you keep the start date of route in the past? Otherwise mid voyage the start time/date can only be the present. If you are mid voyage, then it will put todays date as the start of the voyage, and not a few days ago which it actually was. This messes with the forecast and speed. The only way around this is to make a new route each day, with your current position as the start, which is not very user friendly. Thanks!
