When is weather coming back? I miss the weather info. Having no weather info is annoying.

    i agree

    after being forced to move from motionbased to GarminConnect - I have to voice a little disappointment - doesn't seem ready for primetime.

    when is weather going projected to be available?
  • Many of us miss the weather feature. As it is now, I'm just manually inputting the weather in the description field for each activity. Weather is one of the planned updates. Can't give you any specific time. Not listed on the what's new page, so my best guess is that it could be several months.

    Garmin Connect is also working on some great features which will surpass any of those from MotionBased. We have some good ones in our upcoming release in late August including Calendar, Manual Entry of Activities, Location, and Weight tracking. We're also working on bringing back some of the features that many liked at MotionBased -- Elevation Corrections, Moving Time/Speed, Weather, and the Analyzer

    I found the weather data really important in MB for comparing cycle rides as wind is such an important factor on the bike.
    So as we've been kept waiting for this feature in GC how about going one step further when it is introduced and giving each activity a wind direction and speed column so that we can make quick comparisons when viewing the activities table.

    Better still how about a Wind Factor - which is calculated based on the direction of movement compared to the wind direction and speed throughout the activity.

    Ha, me adding the weather information defeats the entire purpose and if I trace my run on a elevation map....i would not need Garmin Connect.

    Agree - need weather!!

    There are two functions that I sorely miss from Motionbased - weather and the validation of the datapoints. Being able to analyze and compare similar runs, without knowing the temperature, wind, rain, sun, etc. is nearly impossible. Any idea when we'll see this again? It was in motionbased, how hard is it??
