What's new

20250411: I disabled compatibility with Tactix7 as it did not work and forked a separate version for Tactix7 at https://apps.garmin.com/apps/e37c23da-af53-41da-a4d8-9fea7f3ac3fc 20240929: Recompiled with newest SDK and added some more models, hopefully will now work for Tactix 7 and Fenix 7X 20221110: Compiled for some more models 20221104: Compiled also for Fenix7X and Tactix7 20220912: I created workaround for the damn Garmin bug which in some phone/watch configurations does not show weather location name. In that case, the watch showed "Loca" instead. Now it shows approx latitude|longitude text in form of "48|13". 20220813: Since carb icing alert was always red, because carb icing can occur up to 38C with humidity over 50%, I changed the alert only to HIGH risk of carb icing, temp under 21C and humidity over 80% 20220412: Fixed bug when settings could not be reverted from Imperial to Metric 20210829: Fixed crash if only partial forecast was available. When displayed current weather is older than 90 minutes, it is displayed in dark gray color 20210820: Originally, some info important to pilots (like UTC time and QNH) was displayed in front of hands, but it was not too aesthetically pleasing. Since there is much better app for real pilots called Jan's Aviator App, I decided to move these objects behind watch hands 20210402: Fixed crash when weather is not available, now weather data is simply not shown. 20210316: How to avoid crashes: The watch needs regular weather updates and therefore the Connect app on mobile phone needs location access also when in background. Please make sure that location permission for Connect app is not disabled and not set "only if app in foreground". 20201217: In the weather box, there is now DEW point displayed and if there is danger of carburator icing, the dew point has red background
