UV-Index

Description

UV-Index is a simple widget that displays the current UV-Index and it's daily maximum for any location. The widget makes use of GPS coordinates and retrieves the UV-Index using a web service provided by OpenUV Project (https://www.openuv.io). This API provides a convenient way to get the UV-Index including relevant corrections for ozone, cloud coverage and accurate altitude data.</p><p>.</p><p></p>

What’s New

v1.2.6 Support for Edge® 1030 Plus, Edge® 1030, Bontrager, Edge® 520 Plus, Edge® 530, Edge® 830 and Edge® Explore added</p><p></p><p>----</p><p>You can now check the UV-Index BEFORE you go outdoors. The position from your last outdoor activity with GPS is used to retrieve the UV-Index. To manually update position press START button (this invokes GPS). This is now the new default behaviour, to revert to old behaviour go to app settings and uncheck "Use last known position". Enjoy using UV-Index indoors!

Without a doubt my favourite widget! I'd seriously be lost without it on the golf course – I'm getting my Vitamin D until "UV-Index" tells me it's over three... then it's sunscreen time.

Works flawlessly on my Fenix 3HR. Quick acquisition of both the uv index and GPS. Highly recommended.

Probably the location cache got cleared (e.g. after firmware upgrade). Try going outdoors and get a GPS fix once, afterwards it should also work indoors.

Crashed my Fenix 5 Plus so badly. Can't get it off my watch, despite uninstalling. Reinstalled to write a review. Don't go near. Appreciate the developer goes to a lot of trouble - but this is more trouble than it's worth. [email protected]

Sorry to hear that. Can you pl contact me with more details on how to reproduce this crash. The widget is working fine for me and all my known testers, however some people/devices seems to have issues. Hope we can figure out what‘s wrong in your case.

Works well in Fenix 5s plus in the US. Would be nice to have a Pro version that includes a sunscreen timer, time till burn, uv alert, multiple locations, etc.

Thank you very much. Would it be possible to add the time until sun burn based on skin type? based on this formula https://www.openuv.io/kb/skin-types-safe-exposure-time-calculation

I have a Fenix 5, UV simply will not work and says ‘waiting for GPS. I installed it from the Connect IQ store and updated but it still will not work. Can someone from Garmin please contact me to assist with my problem please. My watch is Unit ID 3976798522 Sofware Version 14.2 (9954772). GPS: 4.40 (!) CIQ: 3.0.1 BLE/ANT/SNS: 6.90 WHR: 20.03.31

As of now, the widget needs to retrieve a GPS signal - so you need to go outdoors.

Used to work, and I loved it. One of my top 3. Five stars for sure. But for some months right now it doesn't work any more. Just keep "waiting for GPS..." unfortunately. :-(

Sorry to hear that. Can you pl contact me with more details (watch, firmware, GCM android or iOS). The widget is working fine for me and all my known testers, however some people/devices seems to have issues. Hope we can figure out what‘s wrong in your case.

It would be great to remember last location and update it only on manual request. Or to have option to choose how. Looking up gps every time takes away from otherwise great and useful widget.

Thank for your great feedback and your suggestion. This is exactly where I want to go in future versions. But me time to work on this is currently very limited and it may take some time to get there.

Sorry, no statistics available yet.
