Head, tail or crosswind, at a glance
Set the direction you're heading and HeadwindGo shows, on one big dial, whether the wind is a headwind, a tailwind or a crosswind. A clear red / green / yellow color tells you instantly whether you'll be fighting the wind or flying with it, so you can read it mid warm-up without squinting.
Plan the out-and-back so the tailwind's on the way home
The classic trap is an easy ride out and a brutal headwind home. HeadwindGo suggests heading OUT into the wind first, so you earn the tailwind on the way back when you're tired. Draw your out-leg and see the head or tailwind for every stretch of the loop.
Now vs later
Compare the wind across the next few hours and pick the calmest window to head out. If it's blowing hard now but eases in an hour, you'll see it, so you can time your ride or run around the wind instead of getting caught in it.
Wind speed, gusts and units your way
See wind speed and gusts in km/h, mph, m/s, knots or Beaufort. Gust warnings flag exposed, crosswind-prone days when a sudden side gust matters most on the bike.
Cycling and running modes
Switch between cycling and running and the advice adapts to your speed. Whether you're chasing a personal best or heading out for an easy jog, the read on the wind fits how fast you're actually moving.

Every cyclist and runner knows the trap: the ride out feels easy, then you turn around and grind home straight into the wind. HeadwindGo tells you which way the wind is really blowing, relative to the direction you're actually heading, so you can plan the easy way out and the easy way home.
