About

An app designed for athletes, sailors, and everyone else. Garmin Connect IQ watch application, specifically designed for devices like the Fenix, Edge and much more. It features an interactive map centered on the user's current GPS location. By integrating with the Open-Meteo weather API, the app displays real-time wind speed (m/s, km/h, knots, and mph) and uses a dynamic on-screen arrow to indicate the current wind direction relative to the watch's compass heading. Additionally, it provides quick alerts for upcoming rain probabilities. The application is designed to give users a clear and instant overview of local wind conditions and weather directly from their wrist.

What's new

The rain alert feature, which was displaying outdated times, has been fixed. The widget now compares the forecast time with the watch's system time and displays information only about the nearest, upcoming rainfall.
