WindR lets you create an account automatically using your Facebook, Google or Twitter account. To sign up and log in, click the "Log In" button in the top right of the home page or in the navigation menu.

You can upload any GPS file type, but only GPX, FIT, SBN and OAO files are processed automatically.

Other formats are processed manually by the WindR team using GPSAR, and published using the method described in the tutorial.

Note: The team is currently working on automatic support for SBP files (Locosys GW60).

Once logged in, simply click the Upload your sessions button on the home page, or in the menu at the top left (under your name).

WindR uses several tools to analyze sessions depending on the file format.

• GPX: once uploaded, the file is analyzed by the "WindR" analyzer. The analysis engine cleans the session by removing outlier points, then calculates statistics (VMax, 2s, 5x10s, 5x30mn, 5x60mn, 5x100m, 5x250m, 5x500m, 5x1852m). Alpha 250 and 500 are not yet calculated by the engine.
• FIT, SBN: once uploaded, the file is converted to GPX, then analyzed by the "WindR" analyzer.
• OAO: once uploaded, the data is analyzed by the "OAO WindR" analyzer, which extracts available statistics (VMax, 1s, 5x10s, 5x60mn, 5x500m, 5x1852m, 5xalpha500). The GPX file is then generated automatically and analyzed by the "WindR" analyzer.

You can also process sessions in GPSAR (GPS Action Replay) and post results to WindR from GPSAR. This tutorial shows you how.
