Visual Passage Planner 2 (VPP2) was designed to bring the power of the computer to the passage planning process. Visual Passage Planner (VPP) automates the tedious, time consuming task of off-shore passage planning by using the historic weather data contained in the official Pilot Charts to evaluate passage conditions and estimate passage elapsed times.
Using VPP, many "what-if" scenarios can be played out in the time it would take to manually calculate one route using traditional methods, allowing selection of the best route.
In fact, VPP2 now has an automatic Route Optimization Feature that lets VPP2 do most of the hard work when it comes to selecting a route.
Add pilot information to obtain weather briefings and file a flight plan.

I have used it several times, once to estimate time and best route for rowing the Tasman sea --- and it worked well.
