    • RE: Boat route planning enhancements

      Hi @idefix37

      Thanks a lot for your inputs ! I didn't know the bottom-top left-right options, I'll look into that. About the 3rd point yes this is what I'm doing, juggling with multiple tabs. That works, but would be easier to have everything on one screen.

      Hopefully I can have access to the rplanner API, looks like it has everything we need, it even supports the per-leg average speed.

      Thanks,
      Thomas

    • Boat route planning enhancements

      Hello all,

      I'm a boater and after using multiple tools, my preference is the Windy's Measure&Plan feature. However, it lacks for me 3 main features :

      • One average speed per leg, instead of a global leg speed
        On a route, if we're broadreaching we'll go faster than going downwind or upwind, and would allow more precise routing instead of having a global speed for the entire trip

      • Wind, waves, current directions relative to the boat's heading, as well as wind speed (even if AWS/AWA might only be range hints).
        It's pretty difficult to assess the wind direction relative to the boat when I have an arrow showing the direction of the wind and the general course of the boat

      • Multiple planning on the same map (a-la predictwind) where I can compare multiple routes or multiple departure times.

      Being a developper I was thrilled to see that there was a plugin architecture but it seems I would have to recode the entire functionality. Moreover, it doesn't seem I can get access the the v1/rplanner/ API that would give me all the required data.

      Would it be possible to get access to the source code (I don't think so but you never know :)) to implement the enhancements and get them review by Windy's team, or would it be possible to have the rplanner API available ?

      Thanks !
      Thomas
