12.1.7 Changing the Wind Display
ECDIS allows you to specify whether you want to display wind data, in the infor-
mation panel, relative to your own ship, or as true wind. Depending on the option
selected in the dialog box, the information panel will display one of three types of
wind. If you select True Wind, ECDIS will determine which type of true wind to
display depending on the information it is receiving.
True (G) − Wind Speed and Direction over Ground (wind effect if you are not
moving); If ECDIS is receiving wind speed and course over ground, the informa-
tion panel will display True (G) wind direction.
True (W) − Wind Speed and Direction over Water (takes into consideration the
effects of the wind and water currents on the vessel); If ECDIS is not receiving
speed and course over ground, it will look for speed and course over water and
will display True (W) direction.
Relative − Wind Speed and Direction over Gyro (takes into consideration wind
and water currents on the vessel as well as the ship’s speed and heading);
Lastly, if ECDIS is not receiving speed and course over ground or water, it will
display relative wind direction.
