Item Descriptions
1 Wind arrow — wind direction is displayed as a yellow line
with solid arrow heads pointing towards your vessel, indicating
the wind direction. The width of the arrow indicates the wind

head pointing away from your vessel, in the direction of the tidal

An arrow head is used if the vector length is set to a value other
