I noticed that the 2017 TransPac website had a great boat tracker tool that overlaid right onto Windy.com https://yb.tl/transpac2017# I want to know how I can have this done for my own races and boat planning.
If I want to draw course Rhumb lines and follow boats what needs to be done so I can do that with Windy.com as a backdrop.

I agree with these suggestions. Also, buoy markers or the ability to add personal markers would be great for a number of reasons.
Also, I used to pull up wind data from a couple of days in the past but now it seems that that feature has been disabled and I can no longer see past wind results

Is there a way to get the models shown in Windy to download and display using Google Earth? If possible is there a way to download the data for offline viewing and or live data?
