Surperb, This had become one of our most valuable tools. It has taken us a while to become proficient and to appreciate all that it can do, but once we got it down we find it amazing for round the bouys, ocean racing, an cruising. Don't kid yourself though, it is pretty intense. To get all you can you need a dedicated navigator with computer skills, knowledge of racing, and some training.

I'm planning to buy a Garmin gWind Wireless 2. Can the app receive and display wind data directly from this sensor?
