We use navionics for navigation and the windy.com app for wind and weather. Interested to see if there are any other good ones out there that we should be looking into. I’ve seen some people using the predictwind app for route planning but it’s kind of expensive.
Yep, Navionics and windy are where I tend to start, but the two that I tend to spend the most time in while route planning are Qtvlm and OpenCPN.
Qtvlm’s route planning capability is pretty good once you get into it a bit.
You can give OpenCPN a look: https://opencpn.org. It’s a nice chartplotter with lots of plugins.
This looks pretty compreshensive. Have you used Navionics before? If so, how do you think it compares?
I’ve used Navionics too. I feel like OpenCPN is less intuitive but more configurable. In general I prefer free software so it was my first choice.
