The new format is SO SO, im finding the arrows to be to fat and somewhat less accurate to look at .But the scale change is good and the brown arrows over 35 knots is a good introduction/ With out overdoing it. BUT,there may be scope for a forth colour for say glass offs / light and variable .

I also find the gaps between arrows on the days real time wind display to be very open making it look less accurate and linked , Nothing better than seeing solid green and a refined accurate graph, illestrating variations in wind strengh / direction from your days action on the water

Funny how when you really look on the original wind graphs,the arrows have variations in width of them. Does this mean any thing laurie

Version 4 Laruie
Try making the arrows twice as tight as the original and linked like a snake /dragon tail.

Im sure ill cope either way

Must be having a dry spell... Either that or the police are cracking down again...

It's possibly like the new forum design - I didn't get it...until I viewed it on my phone - much better. The new graphs are a bit 'cartoony' for me - but that's just me being picky - I'm sure I can survive with either also.

Maybe the arrows don't give enough info?
Maybe a line chart with Max/Avg/Min for each time interval.
something like:


The cross point (close) representing the average.

Or an option to choice the chart type?

With charts like that we are all going to loose our investment in boards and sails
beside reminds me another day at work

Too detailed, don't need the swell to two decimal places and the tide to three. Also agree with Sailhack, the colours are too "cartoony".

Cheers for the feedback.

Ironically, the colours are identical to the original, just the border is less black.

Not following this .. fatter arrows reduce the gaps, yet you're saying there's more gaps? Are you referring to the live wind, or the forecasts?

We now get it to three decimal places (which is ridiculous) but when you scroll across the tide you only get one reading every hour.

Too much accuracy is a bad thing? I agree, it could be less. But to 10cm intervals is not such a bad thing. I've been grounded on a catermeran at Shark Bay for hours waiting for the tide to lift 5cm so we could get out.... .. it taught me to respect that a 10cm difference in tide is a big thing!

when you scroll across the tide you only get one reading every hour.

Should not be the case .. which location?

Just an artifact of a "not as accurate as the current rendering system", which is again, somewhat ironic!

Anybody else experiencing something odd (with the graphs), let me know ..

pm sent Laurie.

Forgot to add: 1cm is good eg:0.95M but to the mm eg: 0.952M is too much.

Referring to live wind........big gaps between the NEW fat arrows makes it look like the wind is gusty in comparison to the old graph format of tight solid green, its just less accurate to look at. This also goes for variations in direction as well.

The forcast fatter arrows seem to do the same even though there linked it makes it appear more as a blob / cartoony a little less easy to see the predicted direction and changes forcasted

[b]Again its my feed back only ,ill cope with it..... as is.[/b

There was nothing better to see than solid Green thin sharp spear like arrows linked with no gaps snaking across the page

any way thats that, me political input ........dont forget to vote WA March 9 dont score a fine

Have a good one

Ps Dont forget my birthday Laurie ive been addicted for 10 year as of the 17 th of October 2013.........
