I have tried the seabreeze one someone made a few years ago & it just keeps reverting to Cairns.

I want a simple gadget that lets me pick a beacon and monitor wind readings. I have tried a few that google returned and none of them work for me. Anyone using one?

Don't all jump in at once fellas. Hard to believe a site full of wind junkies and no-one's watching it from their desk?

Laurie, any chance of someone that end whipping up a simple desktop gadget for win7? I'm thinking you pick your beacon, it shows as a single seabreeze arrow that stays on top in one corner. Rotates to match direction, changes Red Yellow Green as per graph. That's it couldn't be too hard to program could it?

Maybe the deluxe model could have 2 arrows, ie monitor 2 beacons? And you click it to go to relevant SB graphs page?

Alt + Tab, F5.

(...actually the wind graph pages refresh themselves so just alt+tab.)

... I still hit f5 to be sure.
