RFE : Too high precision in displaying more than 7 data in the general display table #168
Comments
From un-precision, we generate further un-precision. Are you saying to use precision from grib files and polars to calculate, but actually, just show these rounded? |
hello All,
Yes . Il ne faut pas faire croire aux utilisateurs que la précision
affichée est acceptable. Trop de personnes ne peuvent pas s'en rendre
compte faute de compétence en mathématiques.

This is the general display screen when searching for multiple weather-Routes.
I am interested here in the display of:
These speeds are all displayed with two decimal places. For example for maximum speed, I read 6.58 knots. Therefore, WR seems capable of calculating the maximum speed of the boat with an accuracy of around 0.01 knots, or approximately 18 meters per hour. And the same goes for all the other speeds.
Knowing that the data, from which all calculations are made, are extracted from a grib file, itself imprecise, it seems to me that such a level of precision is aberrant.
I think the speeds should be given with an inaccuracy of 1 knot. for example, instead of 6.58 knots we can round up to 7 knots, or at least to 6.6 knots.
And we could even put all the speeds rounded to 0.5 knot by only writing values of 0.5 knot in 0.5 knot. We would then have the only values used: 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 etc....
