Location Arrow

What does the arrow mean on my location on the weather map?

Could you give more details?
Do you talk about the blue dot with a blue arrow shown only on the radar layer.

@Tail-Boom The blue dot on the weather map with a blue arrow typically represents your current location and the direction you are facing or moving towards. The arrow indicates the direction of the wind.

@idefix37 yes, the blue arrow with the blue dot
Thanks

This blue arrow on the Radar layer does not show the wind direction.

Hi @Tail-Boom the arrow shows the direction you are facing with your mobile device, it has similar system like Google Maps have in their app for example.

Hi, I’ve just checked on iPhone. You are right, it works now as a compass on the map, but not on iPad.

@idefix37 I checked that on the iPad, and there is probably an issue with calibration of the device or something similar, since the arrow is inaccurate in Windy as well as Google Maps for instance.

@Ondřej-Šutera Thanks to all. Makes sense to be a direction arrow. I guess I’m usually sitting still when checking winds!

Hi, so do you confirm that it should work exactly like google maps and the arrow points to the direction of the device?

I ask for confirmation because on my smartphone it is not like that, the position with respect to the device is completely different even if calibrated, on maps it works correctly, perhaps it is a bug on some devices I see that many have the same doubt.

@teddyraspy Hi, which device do you use?
