Routes not at all. And to clarify, I set a 96h waypoint, VMC targets shift a lot over that period. A constant target over 6h is usually adequate.
I know long term forecasts have some fans, but I don’t use them ever. The immediate course does not depend on the very long term most of the time, and prevailing wind analysis is better IMO.
Grib resolution is a topic on it’s own. Stay tuned.

If there are any, do they make significant difference for setting up 72/96h VMC target? Also, I have heard that it might be useful to utilize 16 day NOAA forecast in higher resolution for tactical reasons. As I can imagine some advantages for using long term forecast, as for now I am not able to fully explain to myself the relation between 2 degrees and 0.5 or 0.25 degree resolution forecast. Do you have any opinion on both issues: long term and high resolution forecast?
