weather routing : last position as starting point

Hi Omar,
Thank you for the great work you're doing.

Weather routing :
I have a proposition that would be very usefull (at least for me) : to have the option to automatically get the last position of my boat as the starting point.
That would avoid to fully zoom on my boat to get the precision needed.

An other thing : it would be nice if the isochrones could be the same color as the best track.

Zoom and drag with wheel button
Moving around on the map is not always easy and comfortable.
It would be great if the mousse wheel zoom action was faster (as fast as the zoom button for eatch "step" of the wheel).
A click and drag on the wheel button should allow to move (with any tool currently selected).

I have many other suggestions but I'm sure you have a lot of ideas too so I will stop here for now.
And again, thank you for your work.

+1 on last position idea..

I always struggle to find an exact spot of my boat's location when weather routing..

What happens later is the times of crossing into the next wind cell are not exact - sometimes off by 10-15 min.

Is there a more exact way on getting the timings right for course changes?

You can use pacotool for that I suppose, but it would be nice for vrtool to have that as well..
