High resolution format

Things were getting a little over crowded with the Point Popup covering the charts, map and data. This isn’t necessary for larger screen sizes so for Tablets, Laptops and other devices with larger screen areas. So on these devices you will now notice that the Point Popup is a Point Sidebar and now lives next to the Map and Data areas.

Customise Watts and CdA for Strava Segments Efforts

We’ve made it easier to create a custom power plan for your next Route. There is now a Create Interval button when you select a Strava Segment on your Route. Click ‘Create Interval’ to set the Watts and CdA for your Segment effort. Set your target power for your planned Segment efforts for improved pre ride reconnaissance.

Easily customise power by clicking Create Interval on any Strava Segment.

Auto offset of Wind Lines

Your Strava Routes and Activities now have a small offset applied to the Wind Lines. This is to help distinguish the Wind Line colours on roads that you ride in both directions.

Wind Lines are now automatically offset to improve visibility.

Bonus upgrade: Course settings are retained from session to session

We were getting frustrated at having to reset our course settings every time we viewed a course forecast. So they are now saved. If you set Offset, Wind Shear or any other course setting you do not have to set it again on your next visit.

We hope you enjoy the latest feature upgrades. Go to your myWindsock Dashboard.
