Connect an existing station
Already own a station? Tell us its model and location so we can explore connection options.
Our own weather network. Built around our spots.
We want to build a network of weather stations near our spots, helping us understand what’s happening there. Your interest and suggestions will help us decide where to start.
Already have a weather station? Let’s start with that.
Bringing readings from several stations together lets riders follow their spots in one place. Let’s start with the stations already out there.
Your station can be connected.
Let’s bring its readings into Spot, with your agreement and the necessary permissions.
Its data isn’t accessible to Spot.
Let’s explore connection options before considering a new installation.
The spot lacks representative observations.
Let’s find a well-exposed location and suitable equipment.
What our own network makes possible.
One station gives us a reading. A network gives us a broader view. Here’s what we want to build with Spot Network.
Several spots. One view.
Compare available conditions without opening a different dashboard for every location.
Readings with local context.
Bring observations together with favourable wind directions, local characteristics and rider reports.
Stations where they’re useful.
Choose locations based on gaps in coverage and their exposure to the wind.
Greater independence over data.
Prioritize direct access to measurements to power Spot’s charts, alerts and tools while limiting recurring data-access fees.
A history that helps us understand each spot.
Keep observations to understand local wind patterns and compare forecasts with measured conditions.
Recognition for those who contribute.
Identify the partner locations and businesses helping make these observations available.
The right location makes a difference.
Buildings, trees and terrain can affect the wind a station measures. Before adding a station, we need to understand what it will actually be able to observe.
We’re looking for open, well-exposed locations near riding spots, where wind readings can help riders understand local conditions.
Know the area? Your experience helps us choose a useful location and understand the limits of its readings.
Your spot could be part of the network.
Suggest a location
Have access to land, a building or a location near a spot? It could host a useful station for your area.
Sponsor a station
Your campground, marina or business can help equip a spot and be identified as a station partner.
HOSTING A STATION
A local commitment.
Whether you own the station or borrow it from Spot, you handle installation and ongoing care on site. Arrangements are agreed together before installation.
From a location to observations in Spot.
You suggest
A location or an existing station.
We assess
Wind exposure, site constraints and the spots that could benefit.
We prepare
Technical details and responsibilities are clarified before installation or connection.
Observations reach Spot
Once the station is connected and its data has been checked, its readings can be viewed in the app.
One well-placed station benefits several spots.
