The Route Line
The colored band stretching from your current position (left) toward the Azores (the “lgada” destination on the right — likely Ponta Delgada) shows your planned or projected track. The color of the line corresponds to the vessel speed scale on the left panel (the “Vessel Speed (kn)” column in orange/yellow tones).
Wind Indicators
Yes, it absolutely shows wind direction. The small barbed tick marks along and below the route line are wind barbs — a standard meteorological symbol:
• The staff (line) points in the direction the wind is blowing from
• The barbs/feathers on the staff indicate wind speed (each full barb = 10 knots, a half barb = 5 knots)
Along your route, the barbs appear to be pointing from roughly the northwest to southeast, suggesting a northwesterly wind — which would be pushing you along nicely on an eastward crossing.
The Color Scale (left panel)
• Wind Speed (kn) — the left column (blues through red, 5–64 kn) — shows the contour colors on the broader map
• Vessel Speed (kn) — the right column — applies to the route line itself
Current Position
The white bullseye icon labeled VALIANT LADY [BS] at 16 knots, 7 minutes ago, heading TO: PTP.DL (Ponta Delgada) is your ship’s position and destination.
The pink/magenta horizontal band across the mid-Atlantic is likely a high wind speed contour zone — worth watching but your route appears to skirt just south of it.
