@BedouinWindy said in Crossing the dateline under sail and weather:
would be useful for it to label exactly which time zone it is using to show. Perhaps it does but i cannot see it.
No, time zones are not clearly shown in Windy. But at sea and for pilots, it should be a very useful addon in the map items list such as Reported weather stations, Airports, Windsurf spots… You can only rely on the change per each 15° of longitude and at 180° meridian. Showing UTC time also helps:

So, it is important to show the lat, lon grid as displayed in your screenshot. Unfortunately this grid is not really visible with some layer colours. It should be thicker or with possibility to turn it black or gray.
Route Planner does not seem functional on ipad.
It works well, but the default wind direction reference is set to Left to right. See explanation:

In the mean time, a change has been made in last version v39.2.1 and we have now the possibility to set the direction reference to North up.

When crossing the date line the Route planner does not works properly and does not show the change of date. Or you have to plot it in 2 sections (east and west side of dateline)
