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!

@user233 Just do not fill name and message in next form after donation. You will stay anonymous.

@sudarlife Could you please provide us with more details? For example lat and lot of the place would help us. Thank you for you help.

@Dinoropterix Anyway, free API is not intended for production use. So your key will be probably blocked at some point.

@vicb Creating plugin API and plugin sandboxing would solve this, but it is quite complex project with unsure result. Yes, javascript has an access to Cordova and Cordova has an access via its plugins to many native functions. iOS is quite safe, because user has to confirm (face id, password) any try to access his/her private data. Android, especially in some older versions, is totaly unsecured.

@Yves70 The problem is there is no version controlling. Once someone approve any plugin, we do not check version. That is why it is approved only for the current session. It would be possible to allow loading plugin without any confirmation for the exact version which was approved by the user. But it is not supported at the moment. Also, we would need to check every changes with every new version of every each plugin, as Google or Apple does it, but we have no capacity for that. I do not say it remains like that forever, but we do not want to change it in the nearest future.

@rittels is right, in a mobile application you can access almost any user data, even list of installed apps etc... so external plugins will not be allowed for applications yet. Maybe at some point, but currently we have no security mechanism to allow it.

And similarly for auto-loading. User must approve running 3rd-party code, we have no responsibility for that.

It will be fixed soon, we did some changes around plugins in a cooperation with @rittels. We missed this issue. Thanks for reporting.

@idefix37 You are right, it is not possible yet. But after adding speed settings, importing GPX/KML is now the most wanted feature. So maybe at some point :-) Anyway, @Captain_Morgun you can save the URL of set route, it will work later if you use the URL.

@kalkal Unfortunately, Windy does not provide only tiles. You must use the official API way documented here: https://api.windy.com/

@marns Thanks for your report, it will be fixed in a next release.

@idefix37 Thanks for your feedback. I think we can give a tablet try. Maybe it will work. In a combination with PDF exporting it should make it easier to use.
Do you mean putting coordinates as an input to the route planner? Or getting the coordinates from route planner points? The second is done, just click "Route detail" button. The first option is not possible yet, but it could be quite easy to add.
