thanks Omar, im enjoying using the tool for the vendee globe. I tend to use it to see the best direction but im sure there are more ways to get maximum use.

what other tools do you guys use? id be interest to know.

also, i map my course on the VRTool then try to transfer that to waypoints in the vendee globe, is that the best way?


thanks again

fast ride if you do :)

by the way, is there an easy way to transfer the plot/course I make in VRTool to the actual game when adding waypoints? or is it a case of taking coordinates from VRTool and then moving your mouse in the game to find them on the map?

weather routing tip: after performing a WR calculation, you can
insert both short term and long term isochrones in the chart, without recalculating.
* Insert the set of isochrones (p.e. 3h)
* change "show isochrones" setting
* Insert 2nd set of isochrones (p.e. 12h)
