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". This datafield is showing wind information at current location. Mostly interesting for biking activities. Keep in mind: - datafield requires a connection to mobile device to get wind information from internet - '*' behind wind direction means, data is elder than 10 minutes (happens e.g. if there is no bluetooth connection to mobile phone) - DarkSky or OpenWeatherMap key is required (available at darksky.net or openweathermap.org), to be entered in Garmin Connect - due to limits of Garmin devices, wind information is updated every 5 minutes - datafield is storing latest GPS and wind information. If datafield starts 1st time, "no data" will occure. - It might take up to 5 minutes to get 1st update of wind data after starting activity (or even more if no connection to mobile phone / internet) Only metric is supported
