Will Garmin make a field for windspeed? Or do they have one and I'm just missing it?

I would love to have a field for windspeed but do am not sure what to use. Does anyone have a favorite windspeed app or field they use?

I use Rain & Wind data field (https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/ff19ecc1-9230-4bf1-8781-1ba56b3bed15) which gives you the net effect of the windspeed, so it changes with your direction. There is payed version that sort of forecasts what kind of weather you will find along your route, but it is looking too cumbersome to m, so I just use the free version.
Personally I would have like a data field that just gives current windspeed and direct (what you can see in the Garmin weather widget), but I have not found such a field yet

Another good data field - apps.garmin.com/.../a924715a-2d53-42a1-a8f9-e365bc849840

Shows current wind direction and speed plus wind gust speed.

I think the PowerPod has something like that but I haven't tried it myself.
