One of the most requested feature is finally here! Now you can plan your trip or flight with our route planner.

How does it work?

Just use Distance & planning, which is a feature you might already be familiar with, and select the forecast type you need.

For example VFR:

Several points for discussion:

• All winds are relative to the direction of movement by default, i.e. the green arrow pointing to the right is a tailwind, the red arrow pointing to the left is a headwind. You can change direction of movement (form bottom to top, from left to right) or set absolute directions (north up).
• Do you think any particular forecast type or values are lacking?

@stitch Do not be sad, cross section will be soon (it is almost finished, just some UI glitches are missing), but this is even bigger thing with higher priority :-) You will love it!

And here we are, it is alive!

Do you like Windy and happen to enjoy programming as well? Join us! We are looking for a javascript developer, ideally with sense for UI/UX, but a full stack developer will find their place here too!

We are a small startup with a global outreach and exponential growth. Our service is used by millions of people around the globe, and yet there is just a handful of us. That is why we need help!

We offer extensive workload, freedom and unlimited space for a self-realization.
In return, we expect responsibility, technical (self) education, enthusiasm and interest in Windy. We are looking for someone who is not afraid of hard work and is ready to move forward.

We do not waste our time on endless meetings nor make up a meaningless tasks. We are going after our goal and look for a partner - you.

(Prague internship or remote if based outside of Prague)

As this is one of the most desirable features, it has reached the top of our todo list. We cannot promise any exact date, but we are working on it :-)

🎉 Update released! 🎉

It took us a while until we returned back to the route planner. Thank you for your patience. What is new:

• add speed option (the most wanted feature here in this thread)
• add 250hPa flight level for IFR view

Thank you all for your feedback, it helps us a lot :-)

Hey guys, we just published a new version of our route planner. Just some small improvements.

Changelog:

• added switch to change direction of movement (relative/absolute wind and wave directions)
• added "reverse route" button
• route detail remains open when waypoints are changed or any changes are happening
• uncountable ammount of minor fixes

Thanks for your feedback, we have been working on another version :-)

@stitch Well, @ivo drop the whip down please, I swear I will work 8 days a week. We have finished cross section for land and water related things. Now we are working on "air related cross sections". Thanks to beating me with the whip, it seems it will be finished during this month. Stay tuned!

Hey guys (@Simon-Tunney @camaer @wxgeek @meteoman ). Yes, we are working on it. But it will take us some time (probably a few weeks). Thank you for your patience.

@kbsali Unfortunately, we did not come up with a reliable solution, just some fixups and workarounds... Our rplanner now works around antimeridian, but it would be better to say "works fragile" rather than "works".

@CompassDSNM Hi, as @Korina said, that was an extreme situation and our services normally work as usual. Of course, it can happen at some point again. We do not guarantee 100% access to our services. There is no health check endpoint, so I am affraid you have to handle this on your own unfortunately. Sorry about that. Thanks to your recomendation, we will think about some health check in the future.

@korvinae You are not a premium member at all. Make sure your subscription is connected to your account. Try "restore purchases" button from the device you made a purchase from. After linking your subscription with your account, it will work accross all platforms.

@b-rochut I do not know if it is normal or not. Our example works well, as do other websites using our API. I would think you do something wrong. Session is counted only when map is loaded, working with already loaded map is not counted into the session limit. There is only daily limit. Free API works the same way as Professional API, only amount of features is different.

Also, you should not publish your key for Point Forecast API. I removed it from your post. Unlike from eg. Map Forecast, Point Forecast is a server-2-server servise and it is not possible to secure your key against missusing.

@b-rochut Unfortunately, there is no a simple way how to reinit the whole map.

@YH-IT @Nyxtorm Hey guys, sorry about that, it is fixed in our future release. It will be out in days. Thank you for reporting and your patience!

@kbsali Thank you so much for your great plugin! It has been added into Windy :-)

@iridedaily That is strange, our mail server should encrypt every single mail. My Google account did not mark this email as non encrypted. Can you please send me screenshot or any further info? It would help us a lot to improve mailing in the future. Thanks!
