The NMEA sentences MWV, VWR, VWT and MWD are all supported for receiving
information about the wind speed and direction. MWV is recommended instead of
VWR and VWT, when available. All wind speed units are accepted (knots (N), m/s (M)
and km/h (K)) and converted to wanted speed units to display on the sceen. Speed units
on the display may be toggled between kn (knots), m/s and Bft (Beaufort) by pressing
the SET-button.
A graphical representation of the wind angle is displayed if the following parameters
are selected:
• TXT must be selected for the first two parameters.
• One wind angle must be selected.
• Corresponding wind speed from the same NMEA sentence could be selected.
Otherwise TXT must be selected.
• The wind angle is represented by an arrow on the screen.
See chapter 2 ”Setting up and using the Compact Display” for details how to set up the
screen.
The range of values to be displayed, are:
• Speed: 0 - 99.9 knots.
• Heading: 0 – 359.9
