Hi,
Planning a route today on my Android tablet using the latest version of SkyDemon and I noticed the following oddity. I was overriding the auto winds, as I was practising using my whizz wheel, so had set an all legs wind of 300/10. However on the first leg with a track of 324 deg my PLOG (attached) shows a ground speed of 90 kts; whereas the minimum it could be fighting a straight on headwind would be 100 kts. Has anyone seen this before or can indicate where I've screwed up?

I, personally, wouldn't bother. Maybe put a one sentence explanation...
