Direction indicator.
-
Orientation of direction of travel indicator is off by 180°. I've confirmed it with other apps, fresh install, as well as on a secondary phone.

What do you mean with “direction of travel indicator”?
Could you show a screenshot pls -
For iPad, the direction pointer shown on the map - that indicates the direction that the user is facing - only points in the correct direction/compass bearing when the iPad is held in PORTRAIT orientation.
When the iPad is oriented in LANDSCAPE orientation (as is unavoidable when using a folio or other attached keyboard with iPad, the pointer is rotated +90 degrees from the correct bearing.
By example, with the iPad in Landscape orientation:
-
When facing DUE NORTH (i.e., 0 degrees), the map pointer will point EAST (i.e., 90 degrees).
-
When facing EAST (i.e., +90 degrees from North), the map pointer will point SOUTH (i.e., 180 degrees).
-
When facing SOUTH (i.e., +180 degrees from North), the map pointer will point WEST (i.e., 270 degrees).

Here an example, the Markermeer in the Netherlands. Not a 180° difference in this case. But the particle animation show a NW wind, whereas the picker shows a NE wind. The later is correct, at least in agrees with Windfinder and other sources (KNMI, buienradar)
This morning I noticed a 180° difference in direction between WindFinder and the Windy particle simulation, even when I selected the same model.
My conclusion is that is something seriously wrong with the particle simulation. This can have potentially have grave consequences. -
The direction indicator that was mentioned in this thread is the arrow showing the direction you are facing when Weather radar is on.
You are talking about the direction of wind particles compared to the wind direction in the picker. At the moment I don’t see any problem.
20° is NNE
Do you still have the same issue ?

Currently, I don't see the issue: both the particle simulation and the indicator in the picker show a weak SW wind.
Is there a bug fix, does it not reproduce, or is it dependent on certain conditions like the particle simulation and picker using different information sources? In the latter case, the discrepancy will only occur if the sources differ.
