@Suty Thank you.

@idefix37 I did a restart of the computer and all the windy tabs i had open and that has now fixed the pages loading and refreshing. So, think problem was at my end, sorry!, i saw it was loading ok on my mobile app, so was just a glitch at my end. I run laptop on Windows and search broser is with google chrome. Thank you.

@Suty Morning. I see there has been a new version released but the weather picker option has not returned under the right click of the mouse, nor has the option to add more waypoints on a route once you have created two points. You cannot place a waypoint between them. Is there a way to get both these functions back in again? The weather picker has returned but only functions while you have not placced a route on the screen. As soon as you have placed a route beteen two places (under the distance and planning option on the right click) you lose the function of the weather picker. Please can we get these two functions back!?

@Suty Ok, sorry to hear this. So, just to check i am not missing anything. After you have used the distance and planning function and put various WPs in the ocean to create a route, there is currently no straight forward way to read the data at any given time without losing the route you have on the screen. If i flick between wind speed and wave height briefly, there is no way to see what the timing is on the wave pattern (how far apart the waves are) for example. I need to select a particulat point, right click and open the "forecast for this location" and then select the "waves and tide" option at the bottom. Then to get the routing back up, i need to clear the forecasted point and select "distance and planning again and the route automatically appears. Is there no other way to see what is happening at a particular point in time with the wind, waves, cloud cover, CAPE etc?

@Suty Is there any news on when the picker will be available again when you have a route plotted out for several days. It is the most useful tool out of them all in this situation as you can see wave heights, wave distance, gusts, winds precipitacion, all in a few clicks. Closing the route each time means you cannot see the route you are taking and therefore cannot accurtely put the picker on the map where you will be! Any idea when it can come back, pleeeeease.

@Suty Thank you.

@Suty Just checking to see if version 50 is far away? Very keen to see the old funcions of adding new WPs to current routes and having the weather picker return to the right click drop box option. Any updates are greatly apreciated.

@Suty ok, many thanks.

Here is a screen shot i took of a few months ago and it shows how the function looked when you selected it. In this exacmple it is showing the max wind speed on a selected area. Currently the option to get exact weather info at a selected point does not exist.

@Suty Hello Suty. Thank you for the update for the first point. The second point i was referring to was an optin to position the cursor in any location, right click and you would have a mini menu box appear right beside the cursor location. From this mini menu you ued to be able to choose an option that would give you the values of the point you had clicked on. so, if you were looking at the page of wind gusts then you would see what the speed was at that particula point you had clicked on, or if you were looking at wave height, or CAPE Index, any option really, there was a function you could choose to tell you exactly what the figure was at that point. Annoyingly i cannot remember what the option was called but it was inbetween "elevation" and "forecast for this location"

I have hopefully uploaded a screen shot to show what i mean. The little white dot where the black box startd from is where i have right clicked the mouse. Now there is no options to see what the exact figure is of wind speed at that location. Previously it was. It would be amazing to have that function back again as well. Please let me know if you need more information. Thank you.

Hello. I see that it is now no longer possible to add a new WP in the distance and planning section. By this i mean that if you put a start point and end point and later decide to add a new WP between these two this is now not possible

Secondly, until yesterday you used to be able to right click on the mouse to bring up an options page and in this drop down page you could choose to get the exact wind speed or strength from any particular spot on sea or land, for today, tomorrow or a week from now. That option has also completely dissappeared.

These were two functions that are so useful to me and i would be very greatful if they could be added back in again on the next update, or as soon as possible. I welcome any updates you can offer. Many thanks

I guess we plan routes differently. I dont just check gusts first, i check all conditions that might effect a persons trip, depending if they are single handed, an experienced couple, an older couple with no want to sail through heavy fronts, a full race crew with a fixed start time and so on.
However, knowing what the top gusts are for what i do and the way i work is a very useful tool, especially if you have average winds of 15-20kts but then a front that could pack 35kts, it helps you give for warning to boats to allow them to set up their sails for the night or alter a shift pattern if they have inexperienced person on watch or a short handed and want more hands on deck.
Information is power in this game and the more i can give to people at sea the more they can be prepared to be safe at sea.
For all the years i have used Windy i did not have the sign that said "data not available for this location". It was only to know if you are able to bring back the data that could be available for the locations.
The route i have shown as examples from Fiji to Australia is not a route i am prepping, i had only chosen those screen shots to show you the infomration i was being given in the wind picker.
I agree that after a boat has departed i can use the displayed information to look at conditions but when you have a boat that is asking for when is the best window to leave in i find it easier to be able to look at a bigger picture of the ocean and look at areas that have "bigger weather" to help see it all visually and then be able to decide the best time to leave.
Only really asking if the missing data can be shown all the time, or if this current version of windy will stay as it is.

Many thanks
