Automatic routing - DeeB - 2020-08-14

Does OpenCPN do routing similar to what Navionics does with the different wind predictions?

I wasn't even aware that Navionics did weather routing, but OpenCPN does have a weather routing plugin.

My mistake - Predict Wind.

Ahhh, yes. They do have that option, but it is for their more expensive plans! Cheaper to just download GRIBs with XYGRIB and use the GRIB overlay on OpenCPN, or if you have polars for your boat, the OpenCPN weather routing plugin.
