Wind Speed and Direction
Press WIND to select wind speed.
3. Wind speed may be displayed in miles per hour (m.p.h.), kilometers per
hour (km/h), meters per second (m/s), and knots (knots). The 10 minute
average wind speed will be displayed in the ticker.
A solid arrow within the compass rose indicates the current wind direction. Arrow
caps indicate up to six different 10-minute dominant wind directions to provide a
history of the dominant wind directions for the past hour.
4. Press WIND a second time to display the wind direction
in degrees instead of the wind speed. When displayed in
degrees, Due North displays as 360
º
for consoles with
firmware dated May 2005 or later. Previous releases
marked Due North at 0
º
.
Each additional WIND key press toggles the display
between wind speed and wind direction in degrees.
Note: If your anemometer arm is not pointing true north, you should recalibrate the wind
direction reading on your console. See “Calibrate Wind Direction Reading” on
page 25 for more information.
