About

No Support via review system. For questions, please use button "App Support". I'm a private developer and I'm sharing apps/datafiels/widget I developed for my own usage - for free (!!!) to the community. My rewards are if you are happy with my apps/datafiels/widgets and leaving a five star review. If you are not happy or if there are issues, please contact me via "App Support". You have the choice: use internal Garmin weather forecast, tomorrow.io (free tomorrow.io key is needed) or open-meteo. For elder devices, please use tomorrow.io and limit range of hours/days to avoid out of memory. tomorrow.io: to get api key register at data provider: https://app.tomorrow.io/signup?planid=60d46beae90c3b3549a59ff3 (free plan is sufficient to most cases) - the key you get in the end of the registartion process to be copied to app preferences in Garmin Connect IQ: select "my device" bottom right - "My Watchfaces" - "AK Weather Watch" - "Settings", paste API key to appropriate field. If the bluetooth symbol is red, please reduce range of hours (mostly limited ressources on older devices). E.g. for F5 devices 10 hours should work anyhow. Keep in mind, if you are using tomorrow.io or open-meteo option, it will take up to 30 minutes to get all weather and location data (internet connection via bluetooth is mandatory). Same if you are switching on several data in chart. Be patient :) Center gauge complications (if supported by your device): - "Pollen Load" requires usage of tomorrow.io or you have AK Pollen installed and started once - "Grassland Temp" requires AK Grassland Temp installed and started once Bottom left field complications (if supported by your device): - "Grassland Temp" requires AK Grassland Temp installed and started once - "Time Next Extreme Tide" requires AK Tides installed and started once Color code: - Yellow line = Temperature (scale on left axis) - Green line = Wind speed (scale max on top right side) - Blue line = Precipitation chance (0 to 100%) or precipitation intensity (scale max on top right side) - White line = like blue, but we have snow, ice pellets or freezing rain) - only available tomorrow.io - Purple line = Humidity (0 to 100%) - Gray Dots = Wind Bearing (direction on right axis) - Pink line = Pollen Index (0 to 100%), only available in hourly and Tomorrow.to - Red line = Radiation power (in kW) Gauges: left side indicates steps, right side can be changed (e.g.floors climbed). Outer arcs are for target reached per day, Inner arcs are week history. All gauges are counterclockwise.
