Both ends are yours

Start from your last stop, from where you actually are, or from anywhere you pick — same for the finish. Before, it only ever read last stop to next destination: the wrong leg once you are under way, and no leg at all if you have not set a destination.

Set both ends, then press Plan this leg. Nothing is worked out until you do.

Position you can trust

It will start from your live position — but only when the fix is recent enough, and it always says how old that fix is.

Reporting goes quiet in poor coverage: the North Channel, Georgian Bay, the St. Marys. It stops rather than reports wrongly, so we wait for a new fix instead of measuring your day from where you were an hour ago. No fresh fix and it falls back to your last stop, and tells you.

Waves now have a memory

A twenty-knot breeze that has just piped up has not built the same sea as one that has blown all night. The Planner now reads how long the wind has actually been blowing at that strength.

The other direction matters more. When the wind eases the old sea keeps running for hours. We do not calculate that — we say it: “Leftover sea: it blew 20–25 kn from the SE until about 09:00…” Expect more than the number shown.

And one small thing

The default start and finish now say where they came from — “last logged stop”, “next destination” — so you can see what the tool assumed before you change it.
