Something like this request?

@isazi
I think the question is about the temp, cloud coverage and windspeed direction that’s tagged when recording with SA -
Unfortunately you have to record your activity with your mobile. Just then weather data will be added, not if you’re using your watch
-
Okej!
Thanks for the answer
-
@Petter_Ekvall if I use my Apple Watch and it syncs via SportsTracker I get weather data.
-
Runalyze has this feature built in even for you past moves/activities.
-
@lexterm77 unfortunately, this feature will most likely change in RA soon. Dark sky, provider of the weather information, was bought by Apple. So, no one know, what will happen now…

What a wonderful world.

@zadow I believe to have read they’ll close the API at some point in the future.

“Our API service for existing customers is not changing today, but we will no longer accept new signups. The API will continue to function through the end of 2021.”
But other providers will try to take their spot, so I believe Runalyze will just move to something else.

@isazi
same game like FB features one dayAren’t there anti monopoly laws in EU?
-
@lexterm77
obviously not but you describe it right to the point!
I get in rage everytime I notice when it becomes all about the money and not about the product itself and customer satisfaction -
@TELE-HO so…, this info is added when you record the workout with SA?
-
@lexterm77 well there’s plenty of weather data providers so there is no monopoly. I personally use the openweather APIs and the meteoblue website.
-
@suzzlo
yes it is -
@isazi
but one company acquiring another one and removing lics from a 3rd company etc… that, honestly, to me sounds a bit like the monopoly game…
this weather thing and FB and who knows whats next, when e.g. Garmin buys Strava or Runalyze or whatever…
the goal is to become bigger and get more customers -
It’s difficult for Garmin to grow more, so they need to buy others (Tacx) or limit others (FB)

Well there are a lot of services that eventually get sold or are shut down.
This has really todo with the consumer “perception” where users don’t want to pay, expect “unpromised” features etc.
Strava, for example, if users don’t pay, you know they have their costs for servers (at least), what do you think will happen (just an example).
Specifically there is a big issue atm with Open Source Software as people don’t get paid for developing etc.
As walmarkt monopolized small towns, it was not wallmarkt but the consumers.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
I know I’m getting offtopic here
… Strava forces his non paying customers to a membership as they left segments and ranking in the free ware… I saw some friends of mine immediately buying a membership as soon as Strava put the segments into the member section… of course Strava benefits from their competition addiction…
BUT I will not give my money to a company that changes functionality so drastically WITHOUT destinguishing between roadbike and MTB, running and trailrunning, alpine skiing and telemark skiing etc.I rather support smaller developers with great ideas, innovation and flexibility
