    Great program, I've had a lot of fun playing with this. 

    I have a problem with the wind direction triangle. I added one in, but it doesn't point reliably. It seems to always point near the 12 o'clock position, and sometimes near the 6 o'clock position. It doesn't seem to point in relation to the top of the device, nor north, nor to or from wind direction. 

    The wind direction in text works fine, as does a north arrow ( using alternative track mode on a 1040)

    Any thoughts on the wind direction triangle? Using latest beta #6  

    Thanks.

    As far as I remember (I wrote the guidance pdf years ago), there is no wind indicating arrow in DIY.
    The arrow  can be set pointing North, Start or any coordinate - but not to wind direction.

    If the poster is referring to the "North" pointing arrow, then I can confirm it does not work, it points in any direction randomly.

    As for pointing to the "start" or to "coordinates", I have no use for them so don't know if they work or not.

    Sounds like you need to select "alternate direction of travel"

    Power Zones setup.

    I am using DIY to display the Power Zones (PZ) number. I set the FTP and PZ values through Garmin Express, but the value is always off by 1, e.g. when the native Garmin PZ shows 2.5, the DIY PZ show 1.5. I tried different variations of entering the Zones, but can't get it right. Thoughts?

    Maybe I have to start with 0;203;241;264;290;296;319? Will try that.

    I guess further reading of the docs does say this. But Wind and the Direction triangle _are_ mentioned together in the same section on Heading vs Track.

    Any chance of a feature request to add wind direction to the direction triangle? Cheers,

    • I don’t think you’re going to get this with DIY. BUT…there is an IQ data field called Windfield that will get your arrow and much more!! It’ll have to be on a Garmin screen, of course.

    You‘re right, an I have to apologize for this translation error. It should say „compass rose“.

    No issues at all, thanks for your input, I thought I might have has a setting wrong and it didn't work, I understand it can't do it, for now...  Cheers.
