Introduction

Hello everyone!

The Google Summer of Code 2026 coding period is coming to an end, and with it, an exciting chapter of my journey with 52°North comes to a close. Over the past few months, I have been working on developing a QGIS plugin for the 52°North Weather Routing Tool (WRT). The primary goal of the project was to make the WRT workflow more accessible by transforming its configuration-heavy, manual process into an intuitive, GUI-driven workflow inside QGIS. This post marks the final chapter of my GSoC coding period. If you’d like to follow the journey from the beginning, you can also read my introductory blog post and midterm blog post.

Introduction

Hello everyone!

In my introductory blog post, I introduced my GSoC 2026 project on developing a QGIS plugin for the 52°North Weather Routing Tool (WRT), with the goal of simplifying the existing workflow through an intuitive graphical interface.

It’s now time for the GSoC midterm blog post. Over the past few weeks, the main milestones achieved are the Configuration Wizard and Route Visualization modules. This post summarizes the progress made so far and what’s coming next.
