## Description

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.
