Rain & Wind

Description

Rain and Wind is a custom data field that combines real-time weather data with your planned route from your dynamicWatch account, to show you key data as you ride:</p><p>• What is the temperature and chance-of-rain 1 hour AHEAD on my route?</p><p>• Is the current wind a head, cross or tailwind?</p><p>• How much assistance (or hinderance) is the wind?</p><p></p><p>Rain and Wind builds on dynamicWatch's 4 year history of Connect IQ maps and routes apps to combine route and weather data. 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.</p>

I use routecourse frequently on my Garmin bike computer (5 stars for routecourse!) so downloaded Rain & Wind when I saw it was available. I like it a lot - it's great to see the wind speed and know what it is rather than guessing (mostly guessing wrong). Useful arrow shows headwind, tailwind, crosswind even though obviously you can usually tell. Haven't needed the rain prediction field yet but good information to have. Note that you need to turn bluetooth on for both phone and Garmin computer to get the weather details. Had a question and as usual, reply from Marcus was prompt and helpful.

Like routeCourse again a great app made by Marcus. Tailwind/headwind clearly shown with an arrow and value on the Garmin 1030

MUST SET UP ANOTHER ACCOUNT ELSEWHERE. THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO FOLLOW. POORLY WRITTEN.

Its new, it works (as I expected it would as I use Dynamic Watch's apps for navigation on my Vivoactive 3 and Edge 520). I was initially confused by the wind speed - until I realised it is a measure of the headwind - and changes when you change direction. Once you have a wind app, you realise how useful it is - whether deciding when to go to the front - or understanding why the ride home felt so hard. As always, Marcus is always on hand to help

Sorry, no statistics available yet.
