The standard display view screen is updated once every 5
seconds, averaging the data received during that time.
The above image shows weather data without GPS infor-
mation. This will be displayed until the GPS obtains a
position fix. The GPS time to first fix is one minute.
Note that a GPS fix will not be possible when there is not
a clear view of the sky, such as indoors, or in a heavily
forested location. The standard display view consists of
the following information:
Wind Direction
The wind direction is displayed in the upper left corner,
using eight compass points. If GPS data is available, the
true wind will be computed and displayed, otherwise the
apparent wind will be displayed, and the indicator
“(Apparent)” displayed below.
Apparent wind is the wind a person riding on the vehicle
would feel. True wind is the wind that would be meas-
ured if the vehicle were stationary. It is computed from
the apparent wind and the GPS-provided course and
speed.
Wind Speed
The wind speed is displayed in the upper right corner.
The units are as were specified in the Station Configura-
tion. Either apparent or true wind speed will be displayed,
using the same rules as wind direction.
Wind Gust
The apparent or true wind gust is displayed on the first
text line.
Apparent Wind
The apparent wind direct, speed, and gust is displayed on
the second text line.
