I think most of this has been said but just to reiterate, from a sailing perspective there is little point having the forecast along the entire route for one moment in time as clearly, for a journey of any length, the situation will have changed substantially by the time the boat (moving at 6-7kts) has got there! So it would be really nice if 'boat mode' by default showed the predictions along the route given a specific boat speed.

That said, I have now got the hang of the fact that the weekdays along the top of the table do not relate to the weather beneath (this was very confusing) and I can make predictions by shifting the bar around. It's a bit cumbersome, but nonetheless worthwhile and helping me guide my friends across the Indian Ocean.

The last request is that the routes be save-able! (if they are already I have not seen how?). It is a pain to have to keep re-entering multiple waypoints everytime I come back to the app!

Thanks for everything, this is the most brilliant weather program in existance!

@marekd Aha, just saw that you are going to 'add the option of speed of movement'! This would be very helpful. I thought I might be missing something because I could not find anywhere the option to set the Boat Speed, which is essential. At the moment it seems to be a very slow boat, covering 170nm in a couple of days? I am working with a yacht that is doing 7kn across the Indian Ocean and I have to work the distances travelled manually at the moment. Would really welcome the ability to specify the boat speed. Thanks for all your brilliant hard work.

This is a great question. I am currently summarizing WindyTY forecasts for a fellow sailor who is in the South Pacific by satellite email. He has only sporadic internet connection, so being able to dump WindyTY data into a offline app would be fantastic.

@petra-pik I only just discovered the route planner and it’s brilliant. I am offshore sailor (due to the pandemic I have not been offshore for a year, which is why I only just discovered the route planner) and this is invaluable (I had been asking for it for a while). But to have it work on the iPad app would be even better as the IPad is the absolutely standard interface on many sailing boats (Navionics Boating app, for example, is the standard app for navigation). But anyway, thanks to all involved.

@korina Not a Premium user but I have been a user since the ‘early days’ and have asked for this before. I concur that the other models are better depending on location and in general, I’m afraid (I’m a European too!), the GFS model, though less precise, is more accurate.The other ‘setting’ which does not appear to be a setting are the pressure isolines, which revert to ‘off’ every time I leave the website, a real pain. But keep up the good work, I love Windy!

@idefix37 ok, thanks, that makes sense

@idefix37 nice, although unfortunately that doesn't solve the pressure isolines issue - they get reset to Off even using last overlay. Is this using a lot of CPU time or something, because it's something I asked for years ago but it seems apparently difficult to implement?

@idefix37 I don't, should I?

In the meantime I discovered the problem is even worse trying to navigate from the weather radar pages. !

@idefix37 yes, that is a workaround I suppose (you now can see the top 3). It would be better not to have to do that, or to be able to choose the top 3 instead, so you can put less used items there. But thanks for the interim solution.

Any thoughts about the pressure isolines (why they can't be set to come on by default)?

@idefix37 hah, funny, it doesn't show on a screenshot. Here's a photo!

@Ondřej-Šutera as a sailor, I would absolutely second including weather fronts. I know they are created by meteorologists, but evidently there are algorithms that can mimic this. This would be an important and persuasive addition. While you are at it, PLEASE allow me to keep the pressure isolines on the map by default. I don't understand why this is not stored in my settings. Thanks

Quite like the new interface, having got used to it, but there is an issue on my iphone11 pro: when you pop up the pinned map items/icons the top 3 are hidden behind the notch in the iPhone display that houses the microphone and camera! You can touch the left and right items, but the central one is very difficult to activate. I have tried adding irrelevant items in the top row as spacers, but unfortunately Windy doesn't let me determine the order the items appear (which would be a nice feature). Can this be fixed please? Thanks

Re: Weather settings always resets

Reviving this because as far as I can see this remains a problem. Despite reassurances in various places that my settings will be saved to the cloud, almost without fail, the pressure isobars - which for me as an 'old guy' are essential to understanding the forecast - have disappeared AND the app been reset to the ECMWF model (GFS in my experience, though less granular, is often more accurate - I'm european in case anyone wants to suggest bias!). No matter my proclivities, the whole point of having an account and logging on is that you get to set it up the way you prefer, otherwise I shouldn't be giving up my personal info.... Would be delighted to see it fixed that no matter what changes I make they get recorded and sustained in my settings. Thanks

@petra-pik PS the thread above implies you should be able to make the route planner work on the iPad if you use a browser instead of the app? I just tried this using Safari and I can’t see how to access it. Any clues would be appreciated.
