Features & Capabilities

Wind Compass is the go-to Chrome extension for tracking wind speed, wind direction, and current weather conditions at any location. It delivers current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts, and sunrise/sunset times, plus the perceived temperature to help you plan outdoor activities and travel. It also shows the wind direction arrow, customizable wind speed units (mph, kph, knots, m/s), temperature units (F or C), and even supports True North vs. Magnetic North.

Beyond the basics, Wind Compass offers customizable backgrounds, a location map, and a rear-camera overlay; a color gradient that shifts with temperature for quick at-a-glance insight. The Pro version adds saving multiple locations, daily weather forecasts, and ad removal. Data is powered by Apple WeatherKit. Wind Compass even helps with orientation by indicating where North is when you’re indoors or turned around. Download Wind Compass today and reach us at contact@maplemedia.io for questions.

User Reviews

Wind Compass is valued for accurate wind forecasts and ease of use, with strong utility for truckers and wind-dependent work and a solid free version. However, users frequently complain about intrusive ads and pushy subscription pricing, billing problems, occasional reliability and widget issues, location permission glitches, and some data inaccuracies. Overall, the core forecasts are trusted, but stability, fair ad handling, and consistent data would improve the app.

This is an awesome app. I use it all the time works awesome. The only downside I can’t get it to my Apple Watch if you could fix this problem I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
