GARMIN WARNING: This widget is intended only as a flight planning aid and is NOT for in-flight use and should NOT be used as a primary information source.

The METAR/TAF widget is based *heavily* on Garmin's built-in widget (for the D2™ watch series) but with some improvements (and some drawbacks) and is designed to compliment the existing widget rather than replace it (at least on the D2 Bravo/Charlie).

NOTE: Please do not leave suggestions, requests or bug reports in the reviews. Instead, please use the "Contact Developer" button above; I will endeavour to reply to everyone. Or alternatively, post a comment in the forums here: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/showcase/3418/widget-metar-taf

Major improvements over the built-in METAR widget:
• display overview of four/five nearest METARs on a single screen
• display calculated density altitude and freezing level
• can be used when BLE connection is not enabled/working (data will not be updated without BLE)
• configurable units: as published, same as home aerodrome, always metric, always imperial
• pull a random station by entering the ident 'ZZZZ'

TROUBLESHOOTING: If you see the Connect IQ error page, please try changing the settings using Garmin Express (might be a settings issue with GCM) or try uninstalling and then re-installing the widget. If that doesn't solve the problem permanently or the problem continues to pop up, please contact me.
