About

VENTUS is a data field that provides information about the relative wind during an activity. The information is downloaded from a web service according to actual position. Therefore, internet connection through your mobile phone is required. Following information is shown: - Wind velocity at current position - Wind direction relative to movement direction. It is shown by means of an arrow - Absolute wind direction. It is shown by means of a label - Ambient temperature for current position A circular crown around direction arrow shows accumulated time or wind speed for each relative wind direction. This crown will tell you where the wind is coming from during whole activity. Weather data source can be selected from several options. Select the most suitable for your location. Layout varies according to data field size and provides compatibility for any data field size. VENTUS can be used free during first 5 days. Then, to permanently unlock the data field, a one time payment 9.92 USD (+VAT) is required. To purchase, go to www.kzl.io/code and enter the code displayed in the device screen. The license is associated to a single device and can not be transferred to other user or device. Enjoy!
