SailPoint

The [SailPoint] widget includes steering markers and a crosshair, which
provide a visual reference of the best target wind angle, to assist you in
achieving your vessel's maximum upwind or downwind Velocity Made Good
(VMG) / waypoint Course-to-Steer (CTS). SailPoint also includes a dynamic
polar speed indicator which moves up or down to show the percentage
polar performance versus the target polar vessel speed for the current wind
speed and angle.
Note:
This widget is only available when the boating activity is set to [Sailing],
when completing the initial startup wizard for your connected multifunction
display / chartplotter.
Note:
The widget is set to self-correct and counteract the performance display's
tilt angle. All screen objects referenced below will rotate around the center
of the crosshair, so that each element remains horizontally level with the
ground.
