About

• All features described here are available FOR FREE • Payment is ONLY required to enable advanced features in "dynamicWatch Premium" paragraph below 2020 Garmin Developer Award winner Rain & Wind is a custom data field for your Garmin watch or Edge that combines real-time weather data (updated hourly) with your current motion, to show you key data as you ride: • What is the temperature and chance-of-rain? • Is the current wind a head, cross or tailwind? • How much assistance (or hinderance) is the wind? • Activation is free: enter link code at https://ciq.app/link Detailed help at https://ciq.app/help Rain & Wind builds on dynamicWatch's 4 year history of Connect IQ maps and routes apps. We've all experienced that sense of speed and ease that comes from an unexpected tailwind -- and that slog when we've turned around and are heading home against that rising headwind. Likewise, every cyclist has suffered that unexpected downpour or plunging temperature. The AccuWeather widget on your Garmin can give you a forecast, but when you are riding you want wind and rain data easily accessible. It's surprisingly difficult to tell when you're in motion what the net effect of the wind is. Rain & Wind takes out the guesswork: it shows you what angle the wind is coming from relative to your current heading, and how much of a benefit (mph/kmh, adjusted for the wind direction) the wind is giving you. The data field links to your free dynamicWatch account for your weather data. When you first use the field it will show you an 8 character code. Enter it into your dynamicWatch account at https://is.gd/ciqlink The field will try every 5 minutes to match the link code; when it is able to connect and check the code has been entered, the code will disappear and the weather will be shown. All features described above are available FOR FREE. A dynamicWatch Premium subscription enables • Route-based predictive weather: using your current dynamicWatch route and average speed, the field shows the forecast for your estimated position one hour AHEAD on your route • Weather is updated every 5 minutes (instead of hourly) One Premium subscription enables the optional advanced features of ALL of our Connect IQ apps (dwMap, routeCourse, mapField, Rain & Wind) and the advanced route planning and management features of our website. Premium is just US$9.99/year or a one-time payment of $29.99.
