Thread: Cheap wind meter or kestrel??

Can you get that data elsewhere with no cell coverage
I too can get all the data i need if I have coverage but I'm on iPhone

I started with a cheap one ($25) for a couple of years, worked fine, but have upgraded to a Skywatch Xplorer, i went with the Xplorer 4 due to it also measuring air pressure.

just wondering what your using to get that data?
I did have a cellphone for a while that had the 3 sensors which actually coresponded with my kestrel
unfortunately I killed it as my Sammy S5 only has station pressure now.

How do you find that data on the s5?

I use the applied ballistics and when you go to populate the atmosphere feilds you press the top right hand corner 3 dots and it will ask you if you want to use the pressure from the phone.
just tick it and it puts it in.
it's a great piece of software!

I use shooter and all I got was this.

Maybe because mine is a s5 mini?

check to see what sensors your mini has online.
I cracked the shit with shooter and went applied ballistics as shooter(sean) wasn't replying to my emails
