About

This widget shows the wind direction relative to your orientation (or heading) direction. Under normal use it does not require a GPS signal, but instead uses the watch magnetometer sensor. GPS is used for a one time magnetic calibration. # Features * Wind direction shown by the big arrow pointer (assuming your watch is oriented with the 12 o'clock position directly in front of you) * Wind speed display (configurable units: m/s, km/h, ft/s, mph, knots, Beaufort) * Heading (or orientation) shown by white arrow at the 12 o'clock position, with a rotating direction scale * Option to use GPS for heading if available. "GPS" is shown when GPS is used for heading * Customizable averaging filter for orientation/heading # FULL Version Features * Option to show wind bearing digitally * Second page shows X (crosswind) & Y (tailwind) wind components. The y component is the fraction of the windspeed that is blowing against you when negative or behind you when positive. * Customizable pointer, data line colors * Option to use external weather data source, OpenMeteo, for wind data. # Payment For the FULL version, use this link to pay US$1.25 via Stripe (no account required; credit card, Google Pay, Apple Pay accepted). https://buy.stripe.com/aFa4gAg243C26sTcqWf3d1t Alternative payment via Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/trudelta/1.25USD Important instructions to get your unlock code quickly: https://ko-fi.com/post/Payments-via-PayPal-Z8Z6AIK78 Payment via Stripe is recommended because you will get your unlock code immediately on the payment confirmation screen.
