Kestrel Wind Direction

[nksmfamjp]

Basically, wind direction is often stated as either where the wind is coming from or where the wind is going to.

In weather mode, my Kestrel is telling me where the wind is going to. Which means when I put my face into the wind and I’m facing the wind, the direction is 180 deg off.

How do I change this? I feel like it is a setting.

Not sure I get it.

A left to right wind will push the bullet right. I face the left (say it’s west, 270) and hold my Kestrel into the wind and take a measurement. 270 @ 5mph.

It records 270 (9 o’clock) and gives a left correction.

Or am I missing something?

Yea, it was giving a right correction.

I think I have fixed this. Recalibrating the compass seems to give correct readings. I thought I had a setting wrong.

Check your DOF

I was setting DOF first

Needed to be recalibrated
