Headwind Hunter

Only Headwind Hunter gives you a real time chart to see fuel wasting aerodynamic drag on your vehicle. It also sources hyper-local weather data to show you wind direction on an easy to read rotating dial as your drive. Optimize your MPG based on near real time headwind/crosswind/tailwind conditions. Increase fuel efficiency up to 20% by knowing when a fuel wasting headwind exists, allowing you to intelligently reduce speed - only when it makes sense. Headwind Hunter creates a virtual on-board airspeed sensor and now makes aerospace technology once only reserved for pilots available to all.

Headwind Hunter FEATURES:

* real time aerodynamic drag force
* historical chart of aerodynamic drag force (real time = orange, average = white)
* wind direction dial - from a top down view, based on GPS vehicle bearing when moving, not device orientation
* rotating RED and BLUE wind direction arrows. RED arrows light up for headwind, BLUE arrows
light up for tailwind
* virtual AIRSPEED sensor "A" and GROUNDSPEED "G" indicator at the center of the rotating wind dial

ROTATING LABELS:

* NOW PAYING label is the amount you are currently paying per gallon of fuel due to headwind/tailwind effects (i.e., if you purchased gas at $2.99/gallon and experience a 10% MPG PENALTY, your effective fuel cost is $3.29. OR a 10% MPG BOOST during a tailwind results in a $2.69 fuel cost)

* MPG PENALTY/MPG BOOST label is the percent change in miles per gallon due to a headwind or tailwind. PENALTY/BOOST is calculated with respect to zero headwind or tailwind at your current ground speed.

* NET WIND EFFECT label is the net accumulated fuel cost penalty or savings from wind. A net cost penalty is a positive number, and net cost savings is shown as a negative number. Net Wind Effect is only calculated when the app is open and calculated with respect to MPG at your groundspeed without wind.

* HEAD WIND DETECTED: SLOW DOWN! means you currently have a headwind, drive more slowly or safely draft behind another vehicle to improve fuel economy.

* "TAILWIND DETECTED: SPEED UP!" means a tailwind exists (nice!). Either drive faster with a minimal fuel economy penalty to make up time or keep the same speed and increase MPG.

SETTINGS MENU
* km/h mode for metric speed and drag force units
* VOICE ALERT gives headwind/tailwind alerts for hands free use
* NIGHT MODE red color theme to improve night vision
* DISABLE AUTO LOCK keeps the app open until manually closed (requires app restart to become effective)

VEHICLE CONFIGURATION
* touch for different preset vehicle drag and fuel economy profiles
* default fuel price is $3.00/gallon. Click CUSTOM to enter fuel price manually.
* If no other custom values are entered, select another preset vehicle configuration button after entering the custom fuel price. The custom fuel price will still be saved for other VEHICLE CONFIGURATION presets.
