Windy used to have a facility letting you compare forecasts from several models at one location. Has that disappeared as is the way for many useful online products? Or am I being my old incompetent self?

I have it on an Android phone. the models are in a drop down menu on a red band at the bottom of the display. Mine seems to default to ECMWF

Also has a "download data" being tested which could be useful. Haven't got it to work yet though.

As ever, change is not necessarily for the good. The display used to be far easier to read. The screenshot is too big to upload.In here on the wind tab. Hiding in plain sight, I lost it for a while as well

Also, I cannot get the comparison you show. Can you give me an idiot’s guide.

Ah! OK. I had not looked at this facility for a while. It does not work for me on the iPad but does on the laptop. I just cannot remember what happened when I last tried it well over a year ago. Thinking back, I am pretty sure it was OK on the iPad. On my laptop, I only see 3 models and have to scroll down to see the rest.

On my tablet it means clicking on the 3 red bars in the bottom right and then scrolling to the bottom where the models are. Default does seem to be the ecmwf.

The red arrow is where it appears on my version.
Seems like there is a bit of variety.
No red bars on mine

OK on my iPhone:
1, tap on the required location
2, At the top of the screen select "Forecast for this location"
3, at the bottom of the screen select three vertical dots labelled more
4, at the bottom select compare forecasts
Previous was for on a MacBook using Safari.

It is a bit of a mystery. It seems to me that Windy behave differently between iPhone, iPad and PC. For example, on my iPad, I do not see “Compare.” But, I am never quite sure whether it is my clumsiness or the software. Using my iPad I usually get a disply like GHA showed at #3. Once, I got the display attached here. On my PC, I always get this display but have to scroll down to see AROME or UKV. No problem as these are of little relevance for cruising. I just wish I could always get the display here. It is far easier to use than the other one.

OK. It see sa little critical to the order in which you hit parts of the screen. Although it says you can only get local forecasts at named locations, I have managed to get data at other locations. Not quire sure how so must try again.
