Almost always the detected wind direction is incorrect. And I don’t understand the logic. ![19793](https://forum.windsporttracker.com/uploads/default/original/1X/cde39ba8d9ea24654267217f7bed1266d42f5199.jpeg) ---

Thanks for reporting this. A fix is already in the works — until then, you can manually correct the wind direction in the session details. ---

Hi, version 2.0.20 is out — it includes an improved maneuver detection algorithm. The update also brings automatic wind and weather data loading, which should eliminate the manual wind direction guessing. Wind shifts are now tracked throughout the session, so rotating winds are handled correctly too. If the default hourly resolution isn’t precise enough, you can manually edit the weather data at 10-minute intervals directly in the session. Would be great to hear if this resolves the issue for you.
