Live Wind measurements

Big news for glider pilots, paragliders, and anyone chasing the wind: SeeYou Navigator version 3.5 just got a serious situational awareness upgrade. Say hello to Live Wind Measurements, your new in-flight wind radar, right on the moving map.

What’s new?

When you launch the latest version of SeeYou Navigator, you’ll immediately notice a scatter of wind arrows across your map. These aren’t just pretty icons. They show live wind readings from actual weather stations on the ground.

Merged Data from Multiple Sources

One of the coolest things? You don’t need to worry about where the data comes from. SeeYou Navigator automatically gathers and merges wind measurements from various sources, giving you a unified and seamless view – no manual setup needed.

Color-Coded Wind Strength and Gusts

The wind arrows do more than point in the right direction. They’re color-coded for quick reading:

  • 🟢 Green: Light wind or gusts – smooth and easy.
  • 🟡 Yellow: Moderate – keep an eye on the winds down there.
  • 🔴 Red: Strong – fly with caution.
  • ⚫ Black: Dangerous – better not be landing there.

This color scheme applies to both the average wind and the gust strength, so sudden spikes in wind show up clearly, even if the average wind seems manageable.

Each arrow also displays numeric wind and gust speeds just below it. So at a glance, you get direction, speed, and gust info, without needing to dig through menus.

Tap for More Details

Want even more data? Just tap on a wind arrow, and if the station provides it, a panel will open with extra ground-level info in addition to the wind and gust details:

  • 🌡️ Temperature
  • 💧 Humidity
  • 📈 QNH pressure

Perfect for getting a broader feel of local flying conditions on the ground.

Choose Your Units

If you prefer your wind speed in m/s, km/h, or knots that is not a problem, SeeYou Navigator displays wind data in the units you’ve selected in the app. Want to change it? Just go to:
Settings → System → Units → Custom Units
and choose the wind speed unit that works best for you.
