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?
• The forecast is defined for one specific moment (which has been selected on progress bar) in time for the whole selected track (this will be changed in the future). What would be the best for you?

Currently, in the test version, there are still some TODOs for us:

• add mobile phone and tablet support
• add the option of defining the speed of movement, and the option of changing the forecast in the course of time
• connect our KML, GPX, GeoJSON file upload with the Route Planner

@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 :-)

@aromanenko Hi, as it stands at Windy API website:

The Professional version offers absolutely the same functionalities as the Trial version, the only difference is more layers and models are provided.

Unfortunately, the zoom level is same even for Premium API.

@liuxu2630 If you mean temp lables under each city label, it is not supported for API.

@klale99 You are registered under the different email. See your profile. That is why you do not receive anything.

No, it is not allowed to remove Windy logo, nor for paying users.

Windy has set minZoom property to value 3. You should be able to change it dynamically: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27431053/leaflet-set-min-maxzoom-dynamically

@carejeremy All you can do with the Windy API is documented here: https://api.windy.com/. You can also try to write your own plugin if it suites you better: https://github.com/windycom/windy-plugins

@visualanimal Project identification is basically for production usage. We have faced many abuses of our API in a production. We check the use of our API from time to time, but if your key would have like tens of requests per day, you can be sure we will ignore your key. If you want to be sure, write there e.g. "TouchDesigner Software school project".

@Ost-0 I checked it once more time and we really have no any issue with signing. So it is not a global problem. Please, check if you can log in with the same credentials to this page (community.windy.com). If it works, there is no reason it would not work for Windy Maps. Check carefully your password, avoid whitespaces, ... Try to update webview, do not use prefilled credentials from your browser.

@Ost-0 I just checked it and everything works. I tried to process "forgotten password" with my account and everything works without any problems. So I sent also reset email to your address. Hope it will help.
