Thanks for you reply.
You are correct,this is exact same question, sorry for the duplicate.
The idea is to be able to analyse a sailing route created and optimized for the GFS model with the ECMWF model.
The route planner is only available with the GFS model so it does not really help and it has a notion of average speed which does not work for a sailing boat where the speed will vary a lot, typically between 0 and 25 knots.
I’m using a routing app (eSail4VR) that generates GPX files, which include time information for each waypoint. I’d like to visualize my routing on Windy and have it synced with the Windy timeline. Specifically, I want to display a small boat icon (or another icon) that represents the boat’s position, moving along the route in sync with the timeline. This functionality is similar to how the latest Vendee Globe 2024 plugin displays real-time boat routing.
What I’ve Tried So Far:
1. **Importing GPX to Windy**
I can visualize the route with all available models, but it does not display the boat’s position at specific times, and there’s no icon representation for the boat.
2. **Using the Route Planner**
When I import the GPX into the route planner, it syncs the waypoints with the timeline. However, the visualization is not very clear, it lacks an icon to represent the boat, and it only works with the GFS model.
Questions:
• Is it possible to display a moving boat icon (or another representative icon) along my route synced with the timeline in Windy?
• Should I modify the format or structure of my GPX files to enable this functionality?Any guidance or advice from the community would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Here’s an example of what my GPX file looks like:
In France, I mostly use Arôme for short term forecast and ECMWF or GFS for longer dated ones.
I have the exact same issue. The app is not listed on the Play Store for the Pad 5.
