The wind speed is computed after completion of a full circle.<\/p>\n

Units can be changed in Menu\/Preferences\/Display\/Units\/Wind speed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wind speed and wind direction (based on the arrow provided by the compass widget) are available on all pages preconfigured with AIR\u00b3.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Computed wind direction.<\/p>\n

The wind direction is computed after completion of a full circle.<\/p>\n

You can display it as cardinal direction letters or as numeric values ( ex: 90\u00b0\u00a0 =\u00a0 E ).<\/p>\n

Check also the\u00a0Digital Compass widget in the Navigation page<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0XCTrack Pro Widgets manual<\/a>. The Digital Compass widget displays the numerical value of the wind direction, either as an absolute value ( ex: 90\u00b0\u00a0 =\u00a0 E ), or relative to your bearing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
