Wayfinder Rail Redesign

Wayfinder's navigation rail just got a refresh. The update brings a more consistent icon set and a slimmer layout that gives you more room to see the map. The result is a cleaner, more polished navigation experience with no changes to functionality.

View multiple timelines at once!

Introducing an improvement to the visualization of the weather timelines across all pages in Wayfinder (Fleet view, voyage page, simulator, etc). Instead of seeing a single timeline scrubber for one variable at a time, you’ll be able to see multiple plots simultaneously, with their timestamps synced. In addition, you will have the ability to customize the routes and weather plots that are visualized in the right hand rail.
