A single tap on any waypoint to edit a Route

Editing a Route or setting a Goto Waypoint with shortcut menu is now possible in Weather4D Routing & Navigation and will be soon in Weather4D Routing.  As a result, this feature saves 5 steps (3 instead of 8) whenever you modify a route and is way more intuitive.

How do shortcut menus work?

1. Create a Route

You will find the steps in the User Guide available on iBooks and in the video below.

2. Tap on a Route waypoint

Tapping on a route waypoint displays the shortcut menu with the following functions:

• Export the route (upper left)
• Identify the selected route and waypoint (upper middle)
• Set the blue target on the route (upper right)
• Edit the route
• Move, delete, goto the selected waypoint
• Insert a new waypoint

The post Shortcut menus make Route editing and Goto setting a breeze appeared first on Weather4D.

We received numerous requests to add a minimum sailing speed parameter for routing calculation. Therefore, it became clear we wanted to implement this functionality sooner than later.

While motoring speed is usually around 4.5 kts, it doesn’t mean the skipper wants to systematically start the engine if the speed drops below that value.  As a result, she/he may want to stay under sail only as long as the speed is for instance above 3.5 kts.  As such, this scenario  ought to be reflected in the routing calculations.

How to set minimum sailing speed?

First of all, tap on the compass on the upper left of the screen.  Create a new route or select an existing one.  Once a route is selected, tap on “Simulation & Routing” to display parameters including the “min. sailing speed” parameter as shown in the screenshot below.
