METAR/TAF

GARMIN WARNING: This widget is intended only as a flight planning aid and is NOT for in-flight use and should NOT be used as a primary information source. The METAR/TAF widget is based *heavily* on Garmin's built-in widget (for the D2™ watch series) but with some improvements (and some drawbacks) and is designed to compliment the existing widget rather than replace it (at least on the D2 Bravo/Charlie). NOTE: Please do not leave suggestions, requests or bug reports in the reviews. Instead, please use the "Contact Developer" button above; I will endeavour to reply to everyone. Or alternatively, post a comment in the forums here: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/showcase/3418/widget-metar-taf Major improvements over the built-in METAR widget: • display overview of four/five nearest METARs on a single screen • display calculated density altitude and freezing level • can be used when BLE connection is not enabled/working (data will not be updated without BLE) • configurable units: as published, same as home aerodrome, always metric, always imperial • pull a random station by entering the ident 'ZZZZ' TROUBLESHOOTING: If you see the Connect IQ error page, please try changing the settings using Garmin Express (might be a settings issue with GCM) or try uninstalling and then re-installing the widget. If that doesn't solve the problem permanently or the problem continues to pop up, please contact me.

Although every attempt has been made to ensure the latest METAR/TAF data is retrieved, none of the information displayed by the widget (including, but not limited to, calculated density altitude, freezing levels and flight categories) should be used as a primary source when flight planning. Always ensure you do proper flight planning using data/information from official sources. You accept all responsibility for any activities for which this widget is used or relied on for.
