I have just started experimenting with SailTimer and have a question about how it works. I notice that as the wind direction changes, the intermediate waypoint changes as well, as it should. But the starting point does NOT change. Is this correct? Wouldn't it be better to calculate the new route at each iteration assuming that the starting point is at the current location of the ship? It seems irrelevant where one started from several hours ago, but rather where one is right now. Is that right, or am I not understanding things correctly?
