Weather Instrument Purpose

When an anemometer is connected, ECDIS displays wind characteristics according to the navigator’s needs.

Note

An anemometer (wind sensor) is a navigational instrument for measuring wind speed and direction.

A Wind tab is displayed in the multi-function window.

Wind data is displayed in the Navigational Panel.

Warning

Depending on the connected navigational sensors and the type of anemometer, some wind types (true, apparent, relative) may be unavailable.
