About
Warning - no fancy graphic there! No nice icons too... But probably most information available at a single glance
Be aware - forecast update after parameter change is effective after around 10 minutes!
PLEASE BE SURE to check all the properties of the watch face through your Garmin Connect app on your phone.
If program is not working - pls. let me know - I'll try to fix it...
Full manual how to read data is available here: https://cgpsmapper.com/wx.pdf
- 4 different weather source available (Apixu, DarkSky, WunderGround, OpenWeather)
- no need to have own API key (guys, API key is for developer, isn't it? and what the hell is API key ;) )
- temperature
- windchill
- dew temperature
- UV index (if available)
- cloud cover
- precipitation probability, precipitation level
- conditions - fog, mist, hail, drizzle, freezing rain... and couple more...
- wind speed and direction
- wind gust (if available)
... did I miss anything?
Meteo forecast will appear basing on your last known location AFTER installing watch face. Start your GPS in any activity to get a fix and then give up to 10 minutes (ensure connection with your phone is working) to show current forecast.
After that updates are performed automatically every 12h
Be sure to configure watch as you like and keep in mind please - OpenWeather forecast is the only one without limitations and for free. If you want to use any other forecast - please consider small (3 USD is fine!) donation.
See my QuickForecast for icons explanation / meaning.
Note - you can select resolution forecast - for OpenWeather minimum is 3h, for other data sources this is 1h. Consider 6h resolution as best choice - giving you insight into what probably can happen.
