[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 117025, member: 319"] [ QUOTE ] Yes I noticed that, but getting the right answer for the wrong reason doesn't hold up well. [/ QUOTE ] It either measures the cosine component when used this way with reasonable accuracy or it doesn't. If it does, there's nothing [i]wrong[/i] about it. It would be precisely the [i]right[/i] way to do it. I haven't conducted scientific enough experiments to determine its accuracy when used in such a way, but trying it both ways it has seemed to do very well until the wind gets to a really steep angle (head/tail wind). Yes, I use mine this way quite a bit. I never excpected it to be 100% perfectly precise (I think adding the tunnels probably will help quite a bit)...but what is when you're dealing with wind? What's the point of being able to measure the speed down to the last .001 MPH when it changes by a couple MPH every second or so anyway? Same with direction. And of course the wind where you're standing is only a small part of the big picture anyway. Those are just my feelings and what I do. Then again, I suck in the wind anyway so follow my advice on this subject at your own peril.
