The Weather_Routing plugin now provides 4 simple routing configuration files that use Climatology Data that should work right out of the box, provided you follow instructions.

If you have previously installed weather_routing, first "clean up" your configuration thoroughly following:

Clean up your weather_routing configuration:

  1. Run uninstallweatherrouting.exe
  2. Then delete/rename programdata\opencpn\plugins\weatherrouting [user directory]
  3. Then check opencpn.ini with Find for weather routing entries and delete them and save the opencpn.ini file.
  4. Then install Climatology.
  5. Then install Weather_Routing plugin.
  6. Start Opencpn v4.8.0.
  7. Enable the Climatology plugin and then Weather_routing plugin.
  8. Start Climatology [normally unnecessary].
  9. Start Weather_routing, and the four configurations are all setup ready to compute.
  10. Highlight a configuration and click on Compute.

Each configuration should "compute" and "complete" the first time.

Many thanks to Sean for building this plugin, and to Stelian for making these great improvements for the new user.
