NylonSky Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I received my new wind meter for my iPhone yesterday. Seems to give accurate wind speeds but the wind directions are all reversed. I checked my settings and gps and they are all ok. Anyone else have this issue?

oldcaptainrusty Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I have had mine for a few weeks now and have tried it 6 or 7 times. It seems to be correct as far as wind direction goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NylonSky Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 It's giving me the direction the wind is blowing towards instead of the direction in which it's blowing from. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystainedskin Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I havnt used one.... Could it be as simple as the meter attachment needs to be faced a certain way? I.e. reversed readings. I use the app..... But not an Apple fan,so this setup doesn't work with Android yet from what I've heard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkieRob Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Not sure, but some weather apps allow you to set direction to either way: origin or travelling to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Aye, I'm guessing it just had to do with the orientation (toward or away)... When I ran mine on iPhone more than a few times (all facing into the wind), direction seemed to be accurate. Looked for info about this on the manufacturer's website?

NylonSky Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I had my back to the wind instead of facing the wind. Makes sense. Feeling dumb now, haha. Thanks for all the help though.
