@plan This was designed precisely so that if you need to close the planning panel, you won't have to plot again the entire route point by point. So It’s a very good feature and it is definitively not a bug. If you are only using the Route planner to measure the distance between 2 points, I understand that it's not very useful for you.

@plan said in Please add an option to select your time zone: We often look at forecasts for areas in a different time zone, and it makes it very difficult to work out timings of wind and tides when Windy is not displaying local time at the forecast area. If you want to know the local time in any place in the world and the forecast at that time, select a location and you will get the local time / forecast as shown in this related post
