    • Coordination of point forecast display data

      In the screen shot of a point forecast below, arrows are used to depict wind, swell and swell 2 directions. In the numerical chart further below, there are rows for wind, waves, and swell data.

      I understand "waves" = wind waves + swell + swell2.

      Is there a reason waves is shown in the numeric data but not on the diagram?

      Similarly, is there a reason swell2 is shown on the diagram but not in the numeric data?

      I primarily care about waves, swell, and wind. Both magnitude and direction for all 3, if that matters.

      Thank you.

      @idefix37

      Thanks! I did get it to work on win 10 and iphone 13 ver 16.6.1 by using this format:

      36°59'21.2"N 84°13'53.3"W

      Being verbose for others in the future:
      I replaced, number for number, the coordinate I wanted and it worked. On the iphone long press on brings up the degree symbol, on a win 10 physical keyboard, I just copied the symbol from another post. The " (double tick) and ' (single tick)from both keyboards worked. There is one space in the entire coordinate string. I used two decimal points as shown and used a following zero if I didn't have a number to use after the decimal point.

      Now all I need to do is figure out how to rename a fav.

      Thanks for the help!

    • How search for a location using GPS coordiantes?

      New to Windy. I'm trying to enter GPS coordinates in the search thingy, then when that location pops up, add a favorite at that location. I know how to add a fav once the crosshairs are over the location. But when I enter the GPS cord (eg, 27.1 -83.1) and hit done or return, nothing happens except the search bar goes away. Thanks

      A little more experimenting....

      1. if I enter 27-84 the following choices pop up:

        none of which are what I entered

      2. if I enter 27-83, the following nonsense choices pop up:

      Is there any way to actually get the crosshairs located at a specific location using gps coord so I can drop a favorite there?

      If it matters, I'm trying to use windy for offshore weather & wave heights. My plan is to drop favorites in the areas I generally go and then put the crosshairs over the favs so I can check the conditions at various locations.

      Thanks again!
